Jasper Engines & Transmissions is pleased to announce the addition of the Nissan 5.6L VK56DE to its remanufactured gas engine line.

This engine is available for the following Nissan applications:

2004-2006 Titan, Armada, Pathfinder (non-VVT)

2012-2015 NV2500/NV3500 (VVT)

“JASPER replaces the OE cast aluminum pistons with an upgraded aluminum piston  of our own design,” says Brad Boeglin, JASPER New Product Development Group Leader.  “The JASPER-engineered pistons have a graphite coating to help prevent dry startup and piston scuffing.  They also designed to include 40% more oil drain backs to prevent oil consumption.”

“JASPER 100% installs new, nitrided, engine valves for improved heat resistance and reduction of valve guide wear,” said Boeglin.  “We also 100% install synthetic, rubber-based, PTFE valve stem seals, then air gauge test the valve guides to verify proper clearance between the valve and guide to further prevent oil consumption.”

“The variable valve timing of the VK56DE is hydraulically tested using a state-of-the-art, oil controlled, test stand to eliminate the chance of VVT failure,” he added.

The JASPER remanufactured Nissan 5.6L VK56DE is covered by a 3-Year/100,000-Mile nationwide, transferrable, parts and labor warranty.  Full warranty disclosure is available upon request.
