• Creates a seal between the engine and intake manifold
• Helps prevent air from leaking out of your engine
• Replace when failing

The engine in your Nissan relies on an airtight vacuum seal to contain gases, and an intact Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is essential for keeping that seal airtight. The intake manifold on your engine helps to distribute airflow equally through your engine cylinders when it's running. The Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is installed between the manifold and the engine to prevent exhaust leaks, which can take a toll on the efficiency of your engine over time.

The Engine Intake Manifold Gasket in your Nissan is built to withstand many years of use, but you may need to replace it if yours becomes worn or damaged. A faulty Engine Intake Manifold Gasket may cause sudden misfires or a loss of power, which means your engine is likely overworking and weakening its long-term function if the Engine Intake Manifold Gasket can't create a perfect seal. If your Nissan's engine has been running “rough” or your fuel efficiency has diminished lately, you might want to have a professional engine inspection to check the condition of the Engine Intake Manifold Gasket. To do this, head to a nearby Nissan authorized service center.

For many Nissan models, the Engine Intake Manifold Gasket can also seal your coolant within the engine. If you spot drips of orange or green coolant on the ground under your parking spot or notice the odor of coolant (it will likely smell a bit sugary) after your Nissan has been running, the Engine Intake Manifold Gasket could be damaged (and therefore, not containing the coolant effectively). As you may have guessed, coolant leaks can lead to overheating in the engine, which may produce major wear and tear in your Nissan engine in the future.

The Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is essential for maintaining your engine, and putting in a replacement requires significant labor. Therefore, it's a good idea to order your new Engine Intake Manifold Gasket directly from Nissan, then rely on the pros at your nearby authorized service center to complete the repair.
