Your Engine Timing Chain controls the opening and closing of various valves inside of your vehicle's engine. It is an essential component in your Nissan's combustion system.
Simply put, a fuel and air mixture enters your engine's cylinders when the intake valves are opened by the Engine Timing Chain. Once the mixture has gone through, the timing chain closes the intake valves during the essential combustion and compression processes. In the end, this air-fuel mixture transforms into the power your Nissan needs to stay riding smoothly.
Since your engine's timing chain helps to manage such a dynamic task within your engine, damage is typically caused by general wear and tear over time. On rare occasion, a failing Engine Timing Chain can lead to engine failure. An engine that's failed can be costly to fix or damaged beyond repair. Make sure your Nissan stays in good working order by replacing this component immediately if it is broken or damaged.
If the Engine Timing Chain on your Nissan breaks or starts to fail, you may experience other symptoms and issues too. Your vehicle's engine may start misfiring. Your motor oil might become contaminated due to disintegrated metal shavings from a worn chain. And as the Engine Timing Chain slacks and weakens, you will likely hear rattling noises when driving.
If you suspect your engine's timing chain is at the end of its functional life, we recommend getting a replacement right away. This component is essential for maintaining your Nissan's engine, so make sure you purchase the right one for your ride by shopping authentic OEM engine timing chains at Nissan Parts.
