The engine in your Nissan operates with a vacuum-sealed internal system, and an intact Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is crucial for keeping that seal airtight. The intake manifold on your engine helps to distribute airflow throughout your engine cylinders while it runs. The Engine Intake Manifold Gasket (part number 140356KA0B) sits between the engine and the manifold to prevent exhaust leaks, which can take a toll on the efficiency of your engine over time.
The Engine Intake Manifold Gasket in your Nissan should last for several years, but you may need to replace it if yours becomes worn or damaged. A worn out Engine Intake Manifold Gasket can produce misfires in the engine or a decrease in engine power, meaning your engine is likely overworking and wearing itself down if your Engine Intake Manifold Gasket fails to maintain a seal like it's supposed to. If your engine hasn't had as much “get up and go” or your gas mileage has plummeted lately, you might want to have your Nissan engine inspected to see what condition your Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is in. To do this, head to a nearby Nissan dealer or authorized service location.
For many Nissan models, the Engine Intake Manifold Gasket can also keep your coolant within the engine. If you notice patches of green or orange liquid on your driveway underneath where you park or notice the odor of coolant (it tends to smell distinctively sweet) coming from your Nissan, the Engine Intake Manifold Gasket might be damaged (and therefore, not containing the coolant effectively). As you may have guessed, coolant leaks can cause an overheated engine, which can spiral into other more serious issues in your Nissan engine in the future.
A fully functioning Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is essential for maintaining your engine, and replacing it requires significant labor. As such, we recommend purchasing an OEM Engine Intake Manifold Gasket from Nissan Genuine Parts, then take your Nissan to a local dealer or authorized service center to complete the repair. When you buy direct from Nissan, all parts are custom-designed for your exact vehicle, and they come with a 12 month/12,000 mile (whichever occurs first) limited warranty (as long as they're installed by a dealer upon purchase).
