G37 after timing gasket replacement

Has anybody who has kept their G37 after the timing gasket replacement had any issues?

I assume most traded or sold their car before powertrain warranty was up, if replaced during warranty.

How common is this gasket failure on 2010+ g37s,is it a certainty or a slight possibility?

I just had that done along with a number of timing parts. Fortunately hit at the tail end of my warranty and was covered. I plan on keeping it for a while.

I've dumped too much money into mods for this thing to be a problem,i got carried away as usual.I do have a 4 year full coverage Warranty when I bought the car I paid but I don't like anybody touching my tires because they usually don't do things right.I am going to check the oil pressure this week

Had the P0021, pulled the left cam gear cover,the cam solenoid was bad,replaced it and the cam position sensor, started it up with oil pressure tester,37 deg out let her warm for about a half hour or more, settled at no lower that 20 psi @idle and 50 psi @ 2000 will within spec no cels.I will remove pressure gauge tomorrow and test drive it will be hammered on!So far it's not a bad timing cover gasket.
