I have done these for my Murano and Xterra. Easy but labour intensive. Use all NEW parts including bolts.

USE OEM stuff. (ask me how I know)

Unfortunatley the Murano Covers are like $300 cdn EACH!

This job is not that bad. Remove engine cover and cross brace. Remove ignition coils and pcv hoses. Unclip various harnesses where applicable. Approx 10 bolts to remove on cover then remove and clean. Rockauto.com shows gasket set with spark plug tube seals around $40 plus shipping and tax. Take your time and follow directions. Download factory service manual on this site to guide you through process. Don't pay more than $300 to have it done by a good maechanic. Good Luck you can do this!!

Stay away from Rock Auto on this stuff. Just pay up and get OEM Nissan. You'll thank me later.
