- Helps prevent oil leaks
- Sealed to the cylinder head by the valve gasket
- Replace when worn or leaking
Your Nissan Engine Valve Cover and engine valve gasket are found at the top of the engine. These two parts work together to help keep motor oil safely contained. The gasket provides a tight seal for the valve cover, and the motor oil inside helps regulate the engine's temperature and lubricate its many moving parts.
When should you replace your vehicle's Engine Valve Cover? The Engine Valve Cover is a part that may only need replacing if you've been in an accident. However, if it cracks or becomes worn with age, it must be replaced. A damaged or old valve cover can lead to an oil leak, and without the proper amount of motor oil, the engine in your Nissan may sustain premature wear and tear.
It could be time to replace the Engine Valve Cover in your Nissan Sentra if you notice any of the following: a strong smell of burning oil, signs of oil leakage, a low oil level (even after you top off), or misfiring in your engine. Pay attention to dark splotches on the ground where you park, the oil light on your Nissan dashboard, and the sounds and smells that come out of your engine area. Changes in your engine's performance may indicate that it's time for a new Engine Valve Cover.
Changing out the Engine Valve Cover in your vehicle at home is possible, but it can require tools and expertise that might be outside your DIY comfort zone. Visit your nearest authorized Nissan service center for expert advice and and an easy Engine Valve Cover replacement service. All genuine Nissan parts are backed by Nissan's 12-month/12,000-mile (whichever occurs first) limited warranty if they're installed by an authorized dealer upon purchase.
