- The cylinder head is the heart of a vehicle’s engine. It limits the pistons’ motion and prevents the oil from coming into contact with water.
- When replacing the cylinder head gasket, check that the new product is an exact replacement for the previous model.

- Even though most fuel companies manufacture high quality fuels, some impurities are always left in the tank.
- Dirt can cause a lot of damage to a car’s fuelling system.
- Fuel filters are made of filter material, equipped with high quality gaskets and must be able to withstand bio-fuel components.
- Nipparts fuel filters feature state-of-the-art materials and meet the highest quality standards.

- These days, developing a combustion engine is all about emissions.
- This means an ignition system should be able to ignite both lean and rich mixtures, as mixtures alternate to make catalyst convertors work.
- Due to the high voltage of modern ignition systems, the quality of the components is more important than ever. The quality of seals, connectors and wires determines if the car stays trouble free over the years.
- That’s why NIPPARTS only produces ignition parts that are as good as the products used by the car manufacturers themselves.

- Most modern cars are equipped with an air filter to keep dust, dirt and pollen away from the engine.
- Over time, pollen filters can get clogged and become less effective or, worse still, a breeding ground for bacteria.
- They must be replaced every 15,000 km or at least once a year.
- Nipparts interior compartment filters are made to guarantee a perfect fit and excellent performance.

- The quality of a joint kit largely depends on manufacturing tolerances choice of steel quality and hardening of the slots and balls.
- After 30 years of experience with manufacturing high quality joint kit Nipparts has the technology and the knowledge to produce durable joint kit in OE matching quality.
- This way Nipparts is able to offer a wide range of friendly priced high quality joint kit.

- Engine oil lubricates the moving parts inside the engine. The oil filter is responsible for removing all excess particles.
- Nipparts oil filters are characterized by:
- High quality materials
- Compliance with OE standards and specifications.

- When it comes to stability, comfort and handling, shock absorbers are the most important component.
- Since shock absorbers are continuously under load, they have a limited service life.
- Their performance can vary depending on driving style, the model and weight of the car and the type of road.
- Nipparts offers a range of high quality shock absorbers, manufactured according to OE specifications and coated to prevent rust.

- The shape, size and performance of the starter are determined by diesel / petrol engine features.
- Turning the key in the dashboard triggers off the solenoid switch that, through the fork, moves the drive until its gear with the engine fly-wheel. At this point the rotation of the starter gets diesel or petrol engine to start off. Thanks to the reducer, the drag torque is able to overcome the inertia of pistons and crankshaft.
- NIPPARTS offer a wide range of spare parts for starters such as:
- Starter drives
- Solenoids
- Moving contacts
- Caps
- Brush sets
- Brush holders

- Steering parts are wear items and need regular check ups.

- Nipparts steering parts are made with the best materials and tested before shipped.
- Also Nipparts steering parts come with all necessary bolts for easy and safe assembly.

They assure that the engine reaches its operating temperature. In fact, they control the flow of coolant that goes through the radiator, depending on the engine temperature.

- Timing belts must be changed at intervals specified by the car manufacturer, typically every 60,000, 80,000 or 120,000 km.
- When you replace the timing belt, we recommend you also replace the belt tensioner pulley.
- Customers can purchase the reference pulley directly from the website.

- The kits contain the distribution belt and all the pulleys required to replace the product.
- All parts of the kit are of Original Equipment quality.

- The camshaft controls the opening and closing intervals of the engine’s intake and exhaust valves. To ensure an exact synchronization, the position of the camshaft must remain aligned with the crankshaft. That is why car manufacturers choose a timing belt or chain to connect the two shafts.
- When replacing the timing chain, it is a good idea to replace the chain rails as well, and eliminate all possible sources of interference.
- Nipparts timing chains are made of high quality steel, guaranteeing silent operation and durability equal to the original product.
- Nipparts distribution chain kits are characterized by:

- High resistance structure.

- The Poly-V belt provides more surface area for the pulley to transfer the driving forces.
- Over time, the “V” sections of the belt wear out, leaving less friction surface and causing the belt to slip. The slippage leads to increased temperatures and cracks in the surface until the belt eventually breaks.
- Customers can purchase the reference pulley directly from the website.
- Poly-V Nipparts belts are characterized by:
- High quality rubber to reduce ageing and wear
- Original Equipment quality
- Wide range of products.

- Engines burn petrol or diesel to generate heat inside the combustion chamber. During the combustion cycle, hot gas transfers heat to the pistons, the cylinder walls and the cylinder head. To avoid overheating the engine, this heat is dissipated by a mixture of water and antifreeze, which transfers the heat from the engine to an air-cooled radiator.
- A pump helps the water flow of the radiator.
- The quality and service life depend on many factors, such as the stability of the housing, the quality of the bearings, the material and the manufacturing accuracy of the hydraulic seal.
- Nipparts uses high quality materials and high precision manufacturing processes.

- The timing belt often provides a guide for the water pump as well.
- When the pump seals are worn out, the coolant can leak over the bearings, causing them to fail.
- Nipparts water pump distribution kits allow you to:
- Prevent mechanical failure
- Save time and money with maintenance.

- The bearings allow the wheels to turn at high speeds with a very low coefficient of friction, despite the heavy loads they have to withstand.
- They are a very important safety element. However, if wear leads to excessive backlash, stability can be affected. In the worst case scenario, the wheel may lock or even come off completely.
- Nipparts bearings are high-tech products that offer the same qualitiy as the original bearings.
- Nipparts kits include all components required for repairing and replacing wheel bearings, such as seals and centring ring.

- The typical brake cylinder consists of a steel tube with two opposing pistons inside. The pistons move outwards until the brake shoe touches the drum. Since the two pistons share the same bore, they undergo the same fluid pressure and release the same force. A rubber seal on each piston ensures pressure and prevents any leakage. An anti-dust seal on both ends of the cylinder protects the pistons from dirt.
- All Nipparts braking system products are characterized by:
- Perfect functioning thanks to high-precision production
- High durability due to high quality materials
