Maintain accurate valve timing and secure camshaft gear alignment with this Genuine Nissan Camshaft Key, designed for Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 and GU Y61 models fitted with the TD42 diesel engine. This OEM woodruff key locates the camshaft gear on the camshaft shaft, ensuring precise positioning and preventing movement between components during engine operation.

As a critical timing system component, the camshaft key helps maintain correct valve timing and engine synchronization. A worn, damaged, or missing key can allow the camshaft gear to shift, potentially causing timing issues, poor engine performance, difficult starting, excessive engine noise, or severe internal engine damage if left unaddressed.

Manufactured to genuine Nissan specifications, this direct-fit replacement camshaft key provides precise fitment, reliable gear location, and long-term durability for both naturally aspirated and turbocharged TD42 engine applications.
