The VK56DE is the 5.6L 32v petrol V8, four valves per cylinder and an aluminium block. Within the family it is the execution without the variable timing and lift of the VK56VD, which has its own page.
Two part families are listed here today: a set of JE PISTONS forged pistons and a set of ACL Race Series trimetal connecting rod bearings, in standard size, HX extra clearance version and repair sizes. No valves or gaskets are held for this engine code at present.
Forged pistons and trimetal bearings are the first items to change on a large-capacity V8 pushed beyond standard output.
