Your Nissan's Engine Exhaust Manifold Gasket is a gasket assembly that gives a tight seal at the connection between your vehicle's engine and exhaust system. If the Exhaust Manifold Gasket is functioning properly, it serves to keep sufficient pressure in your vehicle's exhaust system so that exhaust gases are drawn out of the hood compartment and away from your engine (and away from the cabin air intake).
If you start to hear sputtering, tapping, or high-pitched hissing noises from your engine (and if you notice them right after starting the engine), a damaged Exhaust Manifold Gasket may be the culprit. A leak in your Nissan Exhaust Manifold Gasket can cause exhaust gases to be trapped in the area under the hood. If the issue isn't remedied quickly, those harmful gases can diminish your engine's performance and fuel efficiency. Exhaust gases can reach extreme temperatures, meaning that a leaky Exhaust Manifold Gasket can also cause warping or burning of adjacent parts in your vehicle's engine bay. In those cases, you may experience a strong odor of burnt plastic, and you might see smoke seeping out from the sides of your hood, as well.
Your Nissan can't get you anywhere without a properly working engine, so an old or damaged Exhaust Manifold Gasket is one repair you'll want to make immediately. When you need a reliable new Exhaust Manifold Gasket, turn to Nissan Genuine Parts. Buy new parts from the source to ensure a perfect fit, then head to a local Nissan dealer for professional installation and engine repair.
