Beck/Arnley 036-0006 right valve cover for the 2002-2004 Nissan Pathfinder V6 3.5L and other vehicles covers the valve train and holds engine oil inside the engine.
Oil seeping along the edge of the cover, a burning-oil smell from the engine bay or a cracked cover can mean the valve cover needs replacing. Those signs alone do not prove the cover is at fault, since a worn camshaft seal can leak in the same area, so trace the source first.
It fits the 2002-2004 Nissan Pathfinder V6 3.5L and the 2002-2003 Infiniti QX4 V6 3.5L, and matches OE form, fit and function on both.
