Your Engine Timing Chain helps manage the opening and closing of several different valves inside of your Nissan's engine. This car part is an essential component in your vehicle's combustion process.
Put very simply, fuel and air enter your engine's cylinders when the Engine Timing Chain opens the intake valves. The Engine Timing Chain then shuts the intake valves, thus starting the compression and combustion process. This fuel and air mixture transforms into the power needed to keep your Nissan moving down the road.
Since the Engine Timing Chain in your Nissan helps to manage such a dynamic task within your engine, the most common cause of damage is general wear and tear over time. In a worst-case scenario, a poorly functioning Engine Timing Chain can even lead to things like engine failure. An engine that's failed can be expensive or damaged beyond repair. Maintain your Nissan by replacing this component as soon as you notice any potential issues or concerns.
If the Engine Timing Chain on your Nissan breaks or starts to fail, you may notice other problems as well. Your car's engine may start misfiring. Your motor oil might become dirty due to metal shavings falling from the worn timing chain. And as the chain begins to grow slack, you may notice rattling noises whenever you drive your vehicle.
If you suspect your engine's timing chain is on its way out, we recommend getting a replacement as soon as possible. This chain is essential for keeping your engine maintained. Ensure that you choose the right one for your ride by shopping OEM parts from Nissan Parts.
