2011 M56 Valve Cover Replacement

[madmanpauly]

Ok so I'm cheap. I can't stand the idea of paying $300 - $400 for plastic valve covers so here's my question. Does anyone know if, since the VK56VD is essentially the same engine as the VK56DE, the valve covers will interchange? I see that the PCV system is affected but, to my understanding, so long as a PCV is present, we should be ok correct? Otherwise, is there a cheaper way to replace or restore these?

Start by signing up for sites like PartSouq.com or InfintiPartsDeal.com and look for the parts you need but VIN matched via the search function(s). This is for OEM PARTS. Utilizing these sites are the only way I was able to save money doing the valve covers on my 2012 M37x. Hope this helps
