Need help!!! I am in Toronto area, Canada. . I have a 2009 g37 sport sedan 6mt and just had this happen. (rear timing gasket leak) I bought an aftermarket protection plan so all i have to pay is a $100 deductible. The work is being done this Monday by infiniti. Infiniti swears that the gaskets to go back in are paper. I have given them part numbers 13555-jk21a and 13555-jk21b and they say these gaskets are paper also and do not fit. If i put them in, then the aftermarket company said they will not warranty the product if it happens again. My question is whether the original gaskets and these uodated gaskets are both paper?? What should I do. Is there a different part number for these Gaskets inn Canada. Really need to hear from Canadians who had this done esp. to see what part they used. Thanks. I have to Monday morning to figure this out. posting this under 2 threads, hope that is ok

They are replacing everything, they are ordering new parts in today. Do you think the parts ordered will include these metal gaskets??When someone posted pictures of the above mentioned parts 13555-jk21a and 13555-jk21b, the gaskets appeared to have a metal undercoat if that makes sense. Those gasket part numbers at the infiniti dealer I am dealing with have these part numbers in stock and they are all paper according to the service manager. Just dont know what to think. If metal ones were going in I might keep the car but if it is the same paper ones, I think I will sell it as I can see this problem happening again outside warranty. Thanks

Finally ripped the car apart today, oil galley gaskets were all intact, looks like this motor got the updated versions because they were some composite metal material instead of the old paper style. Anyway i didn't take it apart for no reason even though the gaskets didnt fail, the ****ty fasteners did. On the upper galley two fastener were less than hand tight. So this is why i was getting low oil pressure drops, but no ecm codes (p0011,p0021)

I had no codes but had my oil pressure tested because I had a feeling the car wasn't running correctly. sure enough the oil pressure was low, not terribly so but it was below factory spec. plus I had low compression in cylinder 3. so instead of replacing the gally cover I just swapped in a motor from a 2015 z. got the motor for 1k$ with 19k miles with all accessories attached, free shipping, and installed for a total of 4k$ all said and done.

just look on ebay, there are plenty of motors that are way cheaper than 2500$. mine was also a complete motor with all accessories attached took 3 days from drop off to pick up to get the motor in and tuned. the company I got my motor from was Tae used auto parts, based in Florida. just search for a 2015 vq37vhr engine, there will be plenty available. I just searched and there is one that has 36k miles for around 1200$.
