The Engine Timing Cover Gasket is housed at the front of your vehicle near your engine and provides a seal for your car's engine timing cover. Your engine timing cover houses the engine timing belt or chain and shields it from dust, dirt, and grime. Your engine timing belt or chain is what connects the camshaft to the crankshaft. During the combustion process, the timing belt or chain is responsible for ensuring the engine valves are opened and closed at the right moment.
Even though it isn't a complicated part, the Engine Timing Cover Gasket has a critical role: it creates an airtight seal around your engine timing cover, ensures proper pressure, and keeps contaminants out of your engine.
Combustion places your Engine Timing Cover Gasket in a hostile environment. It is possible for your Nissan's Engine Timing Cover Gasket degrade, loosen, warp, or shrink because it is continually exposed to heat when your car is in motion.
Indicators that signal you may need to swap out your Engine Timing Cover Gasket include oil leaking from the timing belt cover, your “Check Engine” light is on, loud knocking sounds that seem to come from your Nissan's front end, or that your engine doesn't seem to be running as smoothly.
You should promptly replace your Engine Timing Cover Gasket if it is loose or damaged for the sake of your engine's health. To find a great fit you can rely on, select Genuine Nissan Parts. Our parts are tough, tested, and created to best fit your Nissan. And, all Genuine Nissan Parts are backed with a 12,000-mile/12-month Nissan-exclusive warranty you can feel confident about.
