Just how much exactly? My old DE had some as well, it's common, but all i did was clean it up and replaced the plugs. Been 30k since, no problems.

I just called 2 different places and was quoted 1133$ to replace both valve cover ... Does anybody know where i can buy the valve covers? so i can replace it myself. Or is it only through the dealer?

Thankyou

The part shouldn't cost you much, even from the dealer. From the price, it just sound like a lot of labor.

PM Rck or Tony at Riverside Infiniti. They'll quote you a reasonable price for the VC.

The side with filler neck is $160-$180 and other side is $145 I think. Had both of mine replaced awhile back. Did it under warranty..Parts and labor almost $600.

The problem is your valve covers will still leak. Infiniti made this genius idea to make them one piece so you have to buy the part as a whole. It wont hurt anything just keep fouling out plugs and maybe consume some oil. No biggie. Thats sarcasm.

OP i was qouted 1100 at the dealership also. I think the parts where around 150 a piece and its not that much work. Mine was covered under warranty or i would have never let them touch it. You can buy them seperately though and usually pre 05 its pretty consitent that its the sixth one.
