This is a Genuine Nissan engine timing cover assembly, complete with an integrated oil pump. The assembly mounts directly to the front of the engine block, providing crucial protection for the timing chain assembly while also housing the engine's oil pump.
This component typically requires replacement due to cracks or warping causing oil leaks, or when the integrated oil pump fails from internal wear, resulting in low oil pressure. Common signs of a faulty unit include oil leaking from the front of the engine, a low oil pressure warning light on the dash, or abnormal engine noises like whining or ticking.
Replacing the timing cover and oil pump assembly is a complex workshop job that requires significant engine disassembly. It is recommended for experienced mechanics with access to a full range of tools, including torque wrenches and potentially specialised engine timing tools. To complete the job correctly, you will also need new gaskets, seals, engine oil, and coolant. It is strongly advised to inspect the timing chain, guides, and tensioner for wear while access is available.
