Your Nissan's engine valve gasket and Engine Valve Cover sit on top of your engine. Together, the two parts help prevent motor oil leaks. The gasket seals the valve cover to the engine cylinder head, and the contained motor oil helps regulate the engine's temperature and lubricate its many moving parts.
How frequently should you install a replacement Engine Valve Cover? The Engine Valve Cover is a part that may only need replacing if you've been in an accident. Keep in mind, though, if it sustains damage or simply begins to wear out as time passes, a replacement is necessary. A broken valve cover could potentially lead to an oil leak, and without the proper amount of motor oil, your vehicle's engine may sustain premature wear and tear.
It may be time to purchase a replacement Engine Valve Cover for your Nissan 350Z if you notice any of the following: the smell of burning oil, any sign of a motor oil leak, a low oil level (even after you top off), or engine misfiring. Pay attention to dark splotches on the ground where you park, your Nissan's dashboard oil light, and any new smells or sounds that come out of your engine area. Your vehicle might be trying to tell you that it's time for a new Engine Valve Cover.
Installing a new Engine Valve Cover yourself is doable, but it will likely call for tools and specialty knowledge that you might not possess. Head to a local authorized Nissan service center or dealer for reliable repair help and Engine Valve Cover replacement. Every one of our Nissan parts and accessories come with a Nissan-backed 12,000-mile/12-month (whichever happens first) limited warranty if they're installed by an authorized dealer upon purchase.
