The Engine Valve Cover and engine valve gasket in your Nissan sit on top of your engine. Together, the two parts help keep motor oil safely contained. The gasket provides a tight seal for the valve cover, and the motor oil inside can help stabilize the engine temperature and keep its parts lubricated.
When should you replace the Engine Valve Cover? Your Engine Valve Cover is made to last, and may not need replacing for many years after you purchase your vehicle. However, if it cracks or becomes worn with age, you'll need to replace it ASAP. A damaged or old valve cover may cause an oil leak, and if that leak isn't addressed quickly, 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, low oil levels or engine misfiring. Stay attentive to oil puddles in your typical parking place, the oil light on your Nissan dashboard, and the sounds and smells that come out of your engine area. Your vehicle might be trying to tell you that you should replace the Engine Valve Cover.
Changing out the Engine Valve Cover in your vehicle at home is possible, but it might require knowledge and specialized tools that you might not possess. Visit your nearest authorized Nissan service center or dealer for reliable repair help and an easy Engine Valve Cover replacement service. All of our OEM parts are backed by Nissan's 12-month/12,000-mile (whichever occurs first) limited warranty as long as they're installed by an authorized dealer or service center.
