- Helps prevent oil leaks
- Sealed to the cylinder head by the valve gasket
- Replace when worn or leaking
Your Nissan's engine valve gasket and Engine Valve Cover are found at the top of the engine. These two parts work together to help keep motor oil safely contained. The valve cover sits atop your engine, the gasket seals it up, and motor oil can help stabilize the engine temperature and keep its parts lubricated.
When should you install a replacement Engine Valve Cover? The Engine Valve Cover is a part that may not need replacing for many years after you purchase your vehicle. Keep in mind, though, if it cracks or becomes worn with age, it must be replaced. A damaged or old valve cover can lead to an oil leak, and once that motor oil is lost, the engine in your Nissan could be damaged.
It may be time to purchase a replacement Engine Valve Cover for your Nissan if you notice the smell of burning oil, any sign of a motor oil leak, a low oil level (even after you top off), or engine misfiring. Take note of oily patches in your typical parking place, the oil light on your Nissan dashboard, and any new smells or sounds that come out of your engine area. Your vehicle might be trying to tell you that you should replace the Engine Valve Cover.
Replacing your Engine Valve Cover at home isn't impossible, but it can require tools and expertise that might be outside your DIY comfort zone. Find a nearby authorized Nissan service center for expert advice and and Engine Valve Cover installation services. All genuine Nissan parts come with a Nissan-backed 12,000-mile/12-month (whichever happens first) limited warranty (if installed by the dealer at the time of purchase).
