J.C. Whitney JRN32040008 Left Engine Valve Cover with Gasket VK56DE 5.6L V8

The J.C. Whitney JRN32040008 is an OEM-replacement left-side (driver side) engine valve cover with gasket for the Nissan VK56DE 5.6L V8 engine. It directly replaces Nissan OEM part number 13264-7S010 (132647S010) and is engineered to restore a proper seal over the valvetrain on the left cylinder bank.

Valve covers protect the engine's valvetrain components from contaminants while retaining oil within the cylinder head. Over time, the integrated gasket and spark plug tube seals can harden and crack, resulting in oil leaks into the spark plug recesses, burning oil smells, misfires, or low oil levels. Replacing a damaged or leaking valve cover restores proper engine sealing and helps prevent further damage to ignition components.

Key Features:

• Position: Left side (driver side / LH)
• Includes: Valve cover and gasket
• Engine: Nissan VK56DE 5.6L V8 DOHC
• OEM Reference: 13264-7S010 / 132647S010

Common replacement symptoms include oil found in spark plug recesses, visible oil leaks at the cylinder head, burning oil smell from the engine bay, or engine misfires caused by oil contamination on the spark plugs.
