- Creates a seal between the engine and exhaust system
- Helps maintain pressure in your exhaust system
- Replace when worn out or leaking
The Exhaust Manifold Gasket in your Nissan is a multi-piece gasket that gives a tight seal at the connection between your vehicle's engine and exhaust system When your Nissan Exhaust Manifold Gasket is operating properly, it serves to keep sufficient pressure within the exhaust system components so any combustion byproducts and fumes are pulled away from the engine and surrounding systems.
If you start to hear sputtering, tapping, or high-pitched hissing noises from your engine (especially when you first start your Nissan), a broken Exhaust Manifold Gasket may be the culprit. A leak in your Nissan Exhaust Manifold Gasket can lead to exhaust gases becoming trapped in the engine bay beneath the front hood. In turn, those combustion byproduct gases can diminish your engine's performance over time. Engine byproducts and exhaust gases are very hot, which means that a leaky Exhaust Manifold Gasket may lead to significant warping or burning of nearby engine components. In those cases, you'll likely smell burning plastic, and you might even see smoke coming from under the hood.
Your Nissan wouldn't go far with a compromised engine, so a leaking Exhaust Manifold Gasket is one repair you should look into fixing as soon as possible. If it's time to replace your Exhaust Manifold Gasket, trust Nissan Genuine Parts. Purchase replacement parts from your vehicle's OEM for top quality and a seamless fit, then head to the closest Nissan dealer for professional installation and engine repair.
