This genuine Nissan crankshaft gear is located at the front of the engine, pressed onto the snout of the crankshaft. As a crucial part of your engine's timing system, this gear transfers the rotational force from the crankshaft to the timing gears, ensuring perfect synchronisation between the crankshaft and camshafts. Replacement is often necessary during engine rebuilds, timing chain service, or if the original gear shows signs of wear such as chipped teeth or a damaged keyway.
Failure to replace a worn crankshaft gear can lead to incorrect engine timing, resulting in poor performance, rough idling, and potential engine misfires. In a severe case, the timing chain could slip, causing catastrophic internal engine damage as the pistons may collide with the valves.
