Nissan Pathfinder valve covers on a Maxima?
Just wondering if the valve covers from a 02-04 Patfinder will work on a 03 Maxima. I know that most people switch to the 04-06 maxima valve covers, but wondering if the Pathfinders are made the same?

Maybe they are made better than the ones on the Maxima? Just a guess since I know little on Nissans. I found a pair on ebay that are cheap and thought they might be better made. I'm in the process of replacing the plugs on mine and the rear spark plug hole on the drivers side had oil in it. Is the only fix to this is a new valve cover or just a new gasket?

A couple years ago, I was between a rock and a hard-place, and had to purchase a brand new replacement 5.5 gen valve cover. The car was in the shop in the middle of a repair and upgrade, and a 6.0 gen VC would have taken a few days to arrive. I didn't do the install, but my mechanic was telling me the replacement VC was subtly different from the original, and yet they were both 5.5 gen VC's.
Based on this, I'm thinking they improved the design for their parts supply line. Or like other parts, (MAF comes to mind), they consolidated the parts up the line, but retained the more expensive end-costs wherever they could.
Not exactly ethical from the consumer's point of view, but that's business.
