The Exhaust Manifold Gasket in your Nissan is a multi-layered gasket that seals the connection between your vehicle's engine and exhaust system. If the Exhaust Manifold Gasket is operating perfectly, it serves to keep sufficient pressure within the exhaust system components so any combustion byproducts and fumes are pulled away from the engine.
If you start to hear hissing, sputtering, or tapping sounds from your engine (particularly right when you start up your vehicle), a damaged Exhaust Manifold Gasket may be at fault. A leaky Nissan Exhaust Manifold Gasket may cause engine gases to become stuck in the engine bay underneath the hood. In turn, those combustion byproduct gases could affect your engine and weaken its fuel efficiency or overall performance. Exhaust gases can reach extreme temperatures, which means that a compromised seal from the Exhaust Manifold Gasket may lead to significant burns that can melt or warp adjacent parts in your vehicle's engine bay. If that happens, you'll likely experience a strong odor of burnt plastic, and you might see smoke coming out of the engine bay, too.
Your Nissan wouldn't go far with a compromised engine, so a leaking Exhaust Manifold Gasket is one repair you'll want to fix immediately. If it's time to replace your Exhaust Manifold Gasket, trust Nissan Genuine Parts. Order parts directly from the source for a tailor-made, reliable fit, then visit a local authorized Nissan service center for professional installation and engine repair.
