The Engine Timing Cover Gasket can be found toward the front of your car by your engine and provides a seal for the engine timing cover. Your engine timing cover fits over your engine timing belt or chain and prevents contamination from dust, dirt, and grime. Your engine timing belt or chain is what provides a connection between the camshaft and crankshaft. During the combustion process, the timing belt or chain is responsible for ensuring your car's engine valves are opened and closed at the proper time.
Though it's not a complicated part, your Engine Timing Cover Gasket serves a crucial purpose: it creates an airtight seal around your Nissan's engine timing cover, helps achieve correct pressure levels, and prevents contaminants from reaching your engine.
Your car's combustion process makes for a hostile environment for your Engine Timing Cover Gasket. It's not uncommon for your Nissan's Engine Timing Cover Gasket degrade, loosen, warp, or shrink because it is constantly exposed to excessive heat when your car is in motion.
Signs that indicate your Engine Timing Cover Gasket is due for replacement include oil present on your timing belt cover, your car's "Check Engine" light is on, a knocking sound that sound like they're coming from the front end of your Nissan, or your car's engine is running rough.
