Gasket for engine timing cover.

• May be difficult to access and obscured by other engine components
• Made from durable, tested materials to best fit your INFINITI

Your INFINITI's Engine Timing Cover Gasket is located toward the front of your car by your engine and seals in the engine timing cover. The engine timing cover fits over the engine timing chain or belt and prevents contamination from pollutants, like dust and dirt. The engine timing belt is what connects the camshaft and crankshaft. These components are crucial for your engine's combustion process — the timing chain or belt's role is to make sure your car's engine valves open and shut at the proper time.

Though it's a simple part, your Engine Timing Cover Gasket has a critical role: it provides an airtight seal for your engine timing cover, makes sure pressure levels are correct and consistent, and keeps contaminants out of your engine.

The combustion process places your Engine Timing Cover Gasket in a hostile environment. It is possible for your INFINITI's Engine Timing Cover Gasket degrade, loosen, warp, or shrink due to the fact that it's continually exposed to heat while you're driving.

Signs it's time to replace your INFINITI Engine Timing Cover Gasket include oil dripping from the timing belt cover, your car's "Check Engine" light is on, knocking noises that seem to come from the front end of your INFINITI, and your engine is rough idling.

Quickly exchange your Engine Timing Cover Gasket if it is damaged or loose for the sake of your engine's health. To find an excellent fit you can depend upon, shop Genuine INFINITI Parts.
