The Engine Timing Chain helps to coordinate the closing and opening process of numerous valves within your vehicle's engine. It is a critical component in your Nissan's combustion system.

Put simply, an air-fuel mixture enters your engine's cylinders when the Engine Timing Chain opens the intake valves. The Engine Timing Chain then closes those intake valves in order to begin the compression and combustion process. In the end, this air-fuel mixture turns into the power your Nissan needs to stay moving down the road.

Since your engine's timing chain is responsible for such an integral process within the engine, damage is typically caused by standard wear and tear. On rare occasion, a poorly functioning Engine Timing Chain can even lead to things like engine failure. A busted engine can be really pricey or completely irreparable. Maintain your Nissan by replacing this component as soon as you notice any potential issues or concerns.

If your vehicle's Engine Timing Chain stops working the way it's supposed to, there may be other symptoms as well. Your vehicle's engine may begin to misfire. Your motor oil might become dirty due to disintegrated metal shavings from the worn Engine Timing Chain. And as the Engine Timing Chain slacks and weakens, you will likely hear rattling sounds when driving on the road.

If you think that your Nissan's Engine Timing Chain is at the end of its functional life, have it replaced immediately. This component is essential for keeping your engine maintained. Ensure that you choose the right one for your ride by buying genuine OEM components at Nissan Parts today!
