Detailed Description

The Victor Reinz 71-41256-00 engine valve cover gasket set is engineered for vehicles that need dependable oil sealing at the valve cover. Its molded rubber material helps maintain contact under heat cycling, while the one-piece layout supports a precise seal across the cover surface. This is a practical choice for Nissan Altima, Nissan Sentra, Nissan Rogue, and Nissan Rogue Select applications where valve cover seepage can lead to oil residue, burning oil odor, or visible leaks.

This part cross-references MAHLE VS50437 and Elring 527.160 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Oil leaking from the valve cover perimeter
• Oil residue on the engine or surrounding components
• Burning oil smell caused by seepage onto hot surfaces
• Seal deterioration from heat exposure and age
• Repeated seepage after a worn gasket loses compression

Installation Notes and Tips

Follow the vehicle service procedure for torque sequence and torque specification to avoid over-compressing the gasket.
