Your Engine Timing Cover Gasket is housed near your engine at the front of your vehicle and seals in your engine timing cover. Your engine timing cover houses the engine timing belt or chain and shields it from pollutants, like dust and dirt. The engine timing belt is what connects the camshaft to the crankshaft. When the combustion process occurs, the timing belt or chain is responsible for ensuring your car's engine valves open and shut at the correct time.
Even though it's not a complicated part, the Engine Timing Cover Gasket has a critical role: it makes an airtight seal around your engine timing cover, helps achieve correct pressure levels, and keeps contaminants out of 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 warp, shrink, loosen, or degrade over time as it's constantly exposed to heat while you're driving.
Signs that indicate your Engine Timing Cover Gasket is due for replacement include oil present on your timing belt cover, your “Check Engine” light is on, knocking noises coming from the front of your car, and your engine is rough idling.
You should promptly swap out your Engine Timing Cover Gasket in the event it is damaged or loose for the sake of your engine's health.
