- 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 seals the valve cover to the engine cylinder head, and motor oil can help stabilize the engine temperature and lubricate its many moving parts.
When should you install a replacement Engine Valve Cover? The Engine Valve Cover is a part that doesn't need attention very often. However, if it becomes faulty or worn from age, you'll need to replace it ASAP. A failing 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 might be time for a replacement Engine Valve Cover for your Nissan Pathfinder if you notice any of the following: a burning oil smell, any sign of a motor oil leak, a low oil level (even after you top off), or engine misfiring. Take note of oily patches in your typical parking place, your Nissan's dashboard oil light, and the smells and noises coming from under the hood. Changes in your engine's performance may indicate that you should replace the Engine Valve Cover.
Installing a new Engine Valve Cover yourself is doable, but it can require tools and expertise that you may not have. Visit your nearest authorized Nissan service center for expert advice and and Engine Valve Cover installation services. Every one of our Nissan parts and accessories come with a Nissan-backed 12-month/12,000-mile (whichever occurs first) limited warranty as long as they're installed by an authorized dealer or service center.
