Genuine Nissan Woodruff Key Injection Pump Gear TD42 - Nissan Patrol Y60 GQ & Y61 GU

Genuine Nissan Woodruff Key Injection Pump Gear - Patrol GQ GU TD42

This Genuine Nissan Woodruff Key is fitted to the crankshaft to correctly locate the injection pump drive gear on Nissan's legendary TD42 diesel engine. This small but critical component ensures that the gear is perfectly aligned and locked in place, maintaining precise engine injection timing.

Over time, or during engine maintenance such as a timing gear replacement or injection pump removal, this key can become worn, damaged, or even shear. It is considered best practice to replace the Woodruff key whenever the injector pump gear is removed to ensure a secure and reliable fit upon reassembly.

If a worn or damaged key is reused, it can fail completely. A sheared Woodruff key will allow the injection pump gear to spin on the crankshaft, leading to a complete loss of injection timing. This can cause catastrophic engine failure, including piston-to-valve contact, resulting in bent valves, damaged pistons, and leaving you stranded with a vehicle that will not run.
