- Creates a seal between the engine and exhaust system
- Helps maintain pressure in your exhaust system
- Replace when worn out or leaking
The Exhaust Manifold Gasket in your Nissan is a multi-layered gasket that seals the connection where the engine meets the exhaust system. Whenever the Exhaust Manifold Gasket is functioning perfectly, it serves to keep sufficient pressure within the exhaust system components so that engine byproduct gases can be drawn out of the hood compartment and away from the engine and surrounding systems.
If you start to hear tapping, sputtering, or noticeable hissing sounds coming from your engine (and if you notice them right after starting the engine), a worn out Exhaust Manifold Gasket might be the culprit. A damaged Exhaust Manifold Gasket may cause exhaust gases to be trapped in the engine bay underneath the hood. In turn, these gases may diminish your engine's performance over time. Engine byproducts and exhaust gases are very hot, which means that a leaky Exhaust Manifold Gasket could also lead to burns that can melt or warp surrounding parts in your vehicle's engine bay. In those cases, you may detect a burning plastic smell, and you might see smoke coming out of the engine bay, too.
Your Nissan won't get you far without a properly working engine, so a leaking Exhaust Manifold Gasket is a problem that you'll want to fix immediately. If it's time to replace your Exhaust Manifold Gasket, turn to Nissan Genuine Parts. Buy new parts from your vehicle's OEM to ensure a perfect fit, then visit the closest Nissan dealer for installation and other engine care services.
