Maintain correct camshaft timing and secure cam gear retention with this Genuine Nissan Camshaft Gear Retaining Washer, designed for Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 and GU Y61 models fitted with TD42 diesel engines. This OEM retaining washer is installed on the camshaft gear assembly, where it plays a critical role in securing the camshaft gear and maintaining accurate valve timing throughout engine operation.

Over time, retaining washers can become fatigued, distorted, or damaged during engine rebuilds and timing gear servicing. A worn or compromised washer may allow movement within the camshaft gear assembly, potentially leading to timing inconsistencies, reduced engine performance, increased engine noise, and premature wear of critical timing components.

Manufactured to Nissan factory specifications, this genuine replacement washer provides the correct fitment, clamping force, and durability required to securely retain the camshaft gear under demanding operating conditions. It is an essential component when performing timing gear maintenance, camshaft replacement, or complete TD42 engine rebuilds.
