The Engine Timing Chain helps manage the closing and reopening of several different valves within your Nissan's engine. This timing chain is an essential component in your vehicle's combustion process.
Put very simply, an air-fuel mixture enters your engine's cylinders once the Engine Timing Chain opens up the intake valves. The Engine Timing Chain then shuts the intake valves, thus starting the compression and combustion process. This mixture ultimately turns into the power your Nissan needs to stay riding smoothly.
Because the Engine Timing Chain helps to manage such a dynamic task within your engine, the most common cause of damage is standard wear and tear. Sometimes, although the possibility is rare, a broken or damaged Engine Timing Chain can even lead to things like engine failure. Engine failure can be really pricey and sometimes irreparable. Maintain your Nissan by having this component replaced as soon as you notice a problem.
If your vehicle's Engine Timing Chain breaks or starts to fail, you may notice other problems as well. Your vehicle's engine may misfire. Your motor oil might become dirty due to disintegrated metal shavings from a worn chain. And as the chain begins to grow slack, you will likely hear rattling noises whenever you drive your vehicle.
If you suspect that your Engine Timing Chain is at the end of its functional life, we recommend getting a replacement as soon as possible. This component is crucial to maintaining your Nissan's engine, so make sure you choose the right one for your ride by buying authentic OEM engine timing chains at Nissan Parts.
