Your Nissan Engine Valve Cover and engine valve gasket are located on top of the engine. These two parts work together to help keep motor oil safely contained. The valve cover sits atop your engine, the gasket seals it up, and the contained motor oil helps regulate the engine's temperature and keep its parts lubricated.
How often do you need to replace your vehicle's Engine Valve Cover? The Engine Valve Cover may only need replacing if you've been in an accident. Keep in mind, though, if it becomes faulty or worn from age, a replacement is necessary. A failing valve cover could potentially lead to an oil leak, and once that motor oil is lost, the engine in your Nissan may no longer have proper lubrication.
It could be time to replace the Engine Valve Cover in your Nissan NV2500, Nissan Frontier, Nissan NV1500, Nissan Xterra, Nissan NV3500, and Nissan Pathfinder if you notice the smell of burning oil, evidence of an oil leak, a low oil level (even after you top off), or new or worsened misfires in the engine. Stay attentive to oil puddles in your parking spot, the oil light on your Nissan dashboard, and the smells and noises that come out of your engine area. Changes in your engine's performance may indicate that you should replace the 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. Head to a local authorized Nissan dealer or service center for reliable repair help and Engine Valve Cover replacement. All genuine Nissan parts come with a Nissan-backed 12-month/12,000-mile (whatever occurs first) limited warranty if they're installed by an authorized dealer upon purchase.
