- 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. Together, the two parts help stop motor oil from leaking out. The gasket provides a tight seal for the valve cover, and the contained motor oil helps regulate the engine's temperature and keep its parts lubricated.
When should you replace the Engine Valve Cover? The Engine Valve Cover is a part that doesn't need attention very often. Keep in mind, though, if it sustains damage or simply begins to wear out as time passes, you'll need to replace it ASAP. A broken valve cover can lead to an oil leak, and once that motor oil is lost, the engine in your Nissan may no longer have proper lubrication.
It might be time for a replacement Engine Valve Cover for your Nissan GT-R if you observe any of these: a strong smell of burning oil, evidence of an oil leak, a low oil level (even after you top off), or misfiring in your engine. Pay attention to dark splotches in your parking spot, your Nissan's dashboard oil light, and the sounds and smells you detect from the engine area. New or different engine behavior could be a sign that you should replace the Engine Valve Cover.
Replacing your Engine Valve Cover at home isn't impossible, but it might require knowledge and specialized tools that you might not possess. Visit your nearest authorized Nissan dealer or service center for reliable repair help and Engine Valve Cover installation services. All genuine Nissan 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.
