- 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 are located on top of the engine. These two parts work together to help keep motor oil safely contained. The gasket seals the valve cover to the engine cylinder head, and the motor oil inside helps keep the engine temperature in an acceptable range and ensure its parts are lubricated enough to move well.
How frequently should you install a replacement Engine Valve Cover? The Engine Valve Cover may not need replacing for many years after you purchase your vehicle. But, if it sustains damage or simply begins to wear out as time passes, a replacement is necessary. A broken valve cover may cause an oil leak, and if that leak isn't addressed quickly, your vehicle's engine may no longer have proper lubrication.
It could be time to replace the Engine Valve Cover in your Nissan Juke if you notice the smell of burning oil, any sign of a motor oil leak, low engine oil, or new or worsened misfires in the engine. Pay attention to dark splotches in your parking spot, the oil light on your Nissan dashboard, and any new smells or sounds you detect from the engine area. New or different engine behavior could be a sign 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 will likely call for tools and specialty knowledge that you may not have. Head to a local authorized Nissan dealer or service center for reliable repair help and Engine Valve Cover replacement. All genuine Nissan parts are backed by Nissan's 12,000-mile/12-month (whichever happens first) limited warranty if they're installed by an authorized dealer upon purchase.
