- Creates a seal between the engine and intake manifold
- Helps prevent air from leaking out of your engine
- Replace when failing
Your Nissan's hardworking engine operates with a vacuum-sealed internal system, and the Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is essential for protecting your engine's seal. In your Nissan, the intake manifold ensures that air is properly distributed throughout your engine cylinders while it runs. The Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is installed between the engine and the manifold to prevent exhaust leaks, which could reduce the efficiency of your engine if not repaired.
The Engine Intake Manifold Gasket in your Nissan is built to stand up to everyday driving for several years, but you may need to replace it as your vehicle ages. A faulty Engine Intake Manifold Gasket may cause engine misfires or reduced power, meaning your engine might be working too hard and weakening its long-term function if the Engine Intake Manifold Gasket fails to maintain an airtight seal. If your engine hasn't been performing like usual or you've seen a decrease in gas mileage over the last few weeks, it's a good idea to turn to the pros and have the engine inspected to see what condition your Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is in. To do this, head to your nearest authorized Nissan dealer or service site.
In some vehicles, the Engine Intake Manifold Gasket can also keep coolant where it should be: INSIDE the engine. If you spot patches of green or orange liquid on your driveway under your usual parking place or detect the odor of coolant (it smells slightly sweet) coming from your Nissan, the Engine Intake Manifold Gasket might be damaged (and therefore, not containing the coolant effectively). Not surprisingly, low coolant levels can lead to an overworked (and extremely hot!) engine, which can create other more serious issues within your engine over time.
Your Nissan Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is essential for maintaining your engine, and putting in a replacement requires significant labor. Therefore, you'll want to buy a replacement Engine Intake Manifold Gasket from Nissan Genuine Parts, then take your Nissan to a local service site or dealer to complete the repair. All Nissan Genuine Parts are custom-designed for your exact vehicle, and are backed by a 12 month/12,000 mile (whatever happens sooner) limited warranty.
