Why Choose iFJF?
The VK56DE V8 is a workhorse — but its valve covers are a known weak point. As mileage accumulates, gasket degradation leads to oil seepage, spark plug tube flooding, and catalytic converter contamination. Nissan dealers charge $700+ for parts. Our iFJF pair provides the same fit and durability at a fraction of the cost. Ideal for Titan and Armada owners who tow, haul, and demand reliability.
Installation Tips
- Disconnect battery and remove engine cover for access.
- Passenger side is straightforward; driver side may require moving brake booster vacuum line.
- Clean mating surfaces with brake cleaner and plastic scraper — avoid metal on aluminum.
- Torque cover bolts to 74 in-lbs (8.4 Nm) in factory sequence.
- Replace brittle PCV hoses during reassembly to prevent vacuum leaks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these fit my 2007 Nissan Titan 5.6L?
A: Yes. Direct fit for all 2004-2015 Titan with the 5.6L V8 VK56DE engine.
Q: Are the gaskets pre-installed?
A: Yes. Both covers arrive with rubber gaskets and spark plug tube seals factory-installed and ready to install.
Q: What are VK56DE valve cover failure signs?
A: Oil smell from engine bay, visible leaks at cover edges, oil-fouled spark plugs (misfires P0300-P0308), and white/blue smoke from oil on hot exhaust manifolds.
Q: Can I replace just one side?
A: We strongly recommend replacing both. If one side is leaking, the other's gaskets are equally aged. Doing both saves labor and ensures even sealing.
Q: DIY difficulty?
A: Intermediate. Passenger side is easy; driver side needs maneuvering around brake booster. Budget 3-5 hours with basic metric tools and torque wrench.
Q: OEM quality comparison?
A: Meets or exceeds OEM specifications for the Nissan/Infiniti parts (13264-ZE01A/ZE00A). Same fit and durability at significant savings.
