Your Nissan Engine Valve Cover and engine valve gasket are found at the top of the engine. Together, the two parts help stop motor oil from leaking out. The valve cover sits atop your engine, the gasket seals it up, and the motor oil inside helps keep the engine temperature in an acceptable range and ensure its parts are lubricated enough to move well.
How frequently should you install a replacement Engine Valve Cover? The Engine Valve Cover is a part that may only need replacing if you've been in an accident. Keep in mind, though, if it sustains damage or simply begins to wear out as time passes, you'll need to replace it ASAP. A damaged or old valve cover can lead to an oil leak, and once that motor oil is lost, the engine in your Nissan may sustain premature wear and tear.
It may be time to purchase a replacement Engine Valve Cover for your Nissan Frontier if you notice a burning oil smell, signs of oil leakage, a low oil level (even after you top off), or misfiring in your engine. Take note of oily patches on the ground where you park, your Nissan's dashboard oil light, and the smells and noises coming from under the hood. Your vehicle might be trying to tell you that you need a replacement Engine Valve Cover.
Replacing your Engine Valve Cover at home isn't impossible, but it might require knowledge and specialized tools that might be outside your DIY comfort zone. Find a nearby authorized Nissan service center for professional help and Engine Valve Cover installation services. All of our OEM parts come with a Nissan-backed 12-month/12,000-mile (whichever occurs first) limited warranty (if installed by the dealer at the time of purchase).
