- Helps prevent oil leaks
- Sealed to the cylinder head by the valve gasket
- Replace when worn or leaking
Your Nissan's engine valve gasket and Engine Valve Cover sit on top of your engine. These parts serve to help stop motor oil from leaking out. The gasket provides a tight seal for the valve cover, and motor oil can help stabilize the engine temperature and ensure its parts are lubricated enough to move well.
When should you replace your vehicle's Engine Valve Cover? Your Engine Valve Cover is made to last, and may only need replacing if you've been in an accident. However, if it sustains damage or simply begins to wear out as time passes, you'll need to replace it ASAP. A failing valve cover could potentially lead to an oil leak, and if that leak isn't addressed quickly, your Nissan engine may no longer have proper lubrication.
It may be time to purchase a replacement Engine Valve Cover for your Nissan 370Z if you notice any of the following: the smell of burning oil, signs of oil leakage, a low oil level (even after you top off), or engine misfiring. Stay attentive to oil puddles in your typical parking place, the oil indicator light on the dashboard, and the smells and noises you detect from the engine area. Changes in your engine's performance may indicate that you need a replacement Engine Valve Cover.
Installing a new Engine Valve Cover yourself is doable, but it can require tools and expertise that you may not have. Find a nearby authorized Nissan service center for expert advice and and Engine Valve Cover installation services. All genuine Nissan parts come with a Nissan-backed 12-month/12,000-mile (whichever occurs first) limited warranty if they're installed by an authorized dealer upon purchase.
