Your Nissan's Engine Timing Cover Gasket is housed at the front of your vehicle near your engine and seals in your engine timing cover. Your Nissan's engine timing cover is placed over your engine timing belt or chain and protects it from pollutants, like dust and dirt. Your engine timing belt or chain is what connects the camshaft to the crankshaft. When the combustion process occurs, the timing belt or chain is responsible for ensuring the engine valves open and shut at the right moment.
Even though it's a simple part, your Nissan's Engine Timing Cover Gasket has a critical role: it provides an airtight seal for your Nissan's engine timing cover, ensures proper pressure, and prevents contaminants from reaching your engine.
The combustion process makes for a hostile environment for your Engine Timing Cover Gasket. Therefore, you could find that your Nissan's Engine Timing Cover Gasket may shrink, loosen, warp, or degrade over time as it's constantly exposed to high temperatures while your vehicle is in motion.
Indicators that signal you may need to swap out your Engine Timing Cover Gasket include oil dripping from the timing belt cover, your car's "Check Engine" light is on, knocking noises coming from the front of your car, and your engine is rough idling.
Promptly exchange your Engine Timing Cover Gasket if it is damaged or loose for the sake of your engine's health. For a great fit and quality you can trust, turn to Genuine Nissan Parts.
