An Engine Timing Chain assists with the closing and opening process of different valves within your Nissan's engine. This car part is an essential component in the combustion process of your vehicle.
Simply put, a fuel and air mixture enters the cylinders within your engine when the Engine Timing Chain opens the intake valves. The Engine Timing Chain then closes the intake valves during the essential combustion and compression processes. In the end, this air-fuel mixture turns into the energy needed to keep your vehicle riding smoothly.
Since your engine's timing chain maintains such an integral process within the engine, the most common cause of damage is overall wear and tear. In a worst-case scenario, a failing Engine Timing Chain can even cause engine failure. An engine that's failed can be really pricey and many times, irreparable. Maintain your Nissan by having this component replaced as soon as you notice any potential issues or concerns.
If your Nissan's Engine Timing Chain stops working the way it's supposed to, you may notice other symptoms as well. Your car's engine may begin to misfire. You might notice dirty motor oil due to disintegrated metal shavings from the worn Engine Timing Chain. And as the Engine Timing Chain slacks and weakens, you will likely hear clanking sounds when driving.
If you suspect that your Engine Timing Chain is at the end of its functional life, have it replaced as soon as possible. This chain is essential for keeping your engine in great working order. Make sure that you choose the correct one by shopping OEM parts from Nissan Parts.
