The Engine Timing Cover Gasket is located near your engine at the front of your vehicle and seals in your car's engine timing cover. The engine timing cover houses the engine timing chain or belt and protects it from pollutants, like dust and dirt. Your engine timing belt or chain is what connects the camshaft to the crankshaft. These components are crucial for your engine's combustion process — the timing belt or chain is responsible for ensuring your car's engine valves open and shut at the right moment.
While it's a simple part, the Engine Timing Cover Gasket is crucial: it makes an airtight seal around your Nissan's engine timing cover, makes sure pressure levels are correct and consistent, and keeps contaminants out of your engine.
Combustion creates a hostile environment for your Engine Timing Cover Gasket. It is possible for your Nissan's Engine Timing Cover Gasket degrade, loosen, warp, or shrink over time as it's exposed to heat while your vehicle is in motion.
Indicators that signal you may need to swap out your Engine Timing Cover Gasket include oil present on your timing belt cover, the "Check Engine" light has flipped on, knocking noises that sound like they're coming from your Nissan's front end, and your car's engine is running rough.
Promptly exchange your Engine Timing Cover Gasket if it is damaged, loose, or warped to preserve your Nissan's engine health. To find a great fit you can depend upon, select Genuine Nissan Parts.
