Your vehicle's Engine Timing Chain controls the opening and closing of various valves within your vehicle's engine. It is a critical component in your Nissan's combustion system.
Put very simply, fuel and air enter the cylinders within your engine once the Engine Timing Chain opens up the intake valves. Afterwards, the timing chain closes those intake valves in order to begin the compression and combustion process. In the end, this air-fuel mixture transforms into the power needed to keep your Nissan moving down the road.
Since the Engine Timing Chain in your Nissan helps to manage such a dynamic task within your engine, damage most often occurs due to standard wear and tear. In a worst-case scenario, a failing Engine Timing Chain can even cause engine failure. Engine failure can be really pricey and sometimes irreparable. Maintain your Nissan by replacing this component immediately if it is broken or damaged.
If your Nissan's Engine Timing Chain breaks or starts to fail, you may notice other problems as well. Your engine may misfire. Your motor oil might become contaminated due to disintegrated metal shavings from the worn Engine Timing Chain. And as it starts to slacken and weaken, you may hear clanking sounds when driving on the road.
If you suspect your engine's timing chain is at the end of its functional life, have it replaced right away. This car part is crucial to keeping your engine maintained. Ensure that you purchase the correct one by shopping authentic OEM engine timing chains at Nissan Parts.
