The Engine Valve Cover and engine valve gasket in your Nissan are located on top of the engine. These two parts work together to help keep motor oil safely contained. The valve cover sits atop your engine, the gasket seals it up, and motor oil can help stabilize the engine temperature and lubricate its many moving parts.
When should you install a replacement Engine Valve Cover? The Engine Valve Cover may only need replacing if you've been in an accident. However, if it cracks or becomes worn with age, it must be replaced. A failing valve cover could potentially lead to an oil leak, and if that leak isn't addressed quickly, the engine in your Nissan may sustain premature wear and tear.
It might be time for a replacement Engine Valve Cover for your Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan Altima if you observe any of these: a strong smell of burning oil, evidence of an oil leak, low engine oil, or misfiring in your engine. Take note of oily patches on the ground where you park, the oil light on your Nissan dashboard, and the sounds and smells you detect from the engine area. Changes in your engine's performance may indicate that it's time for a new Engine Valve Cover.
Changing out the Engine Valve Cover in your vehicle at home is possible, but it can require tools and expertise that you may not have. Visit your nearest authorized Nissan dealer or service center for professional help and an easy Engine Valve Cover replacement service. All genuine Nissan parts come with a Nissan-backed 12,000-mile/12-month (whichever happens first) limited warranty as long as they're installed by an authorized dealer or service center.
