Nissan Patrol TB42/TB45 Billet Main Cap Set | 7-Cap Upgrade
Strengthen Your TB-Series Patrol Engine
Did you know that the factory cast main caps in Nissan TB42/TB45 engines often begin to fail around 400–450 HP (300–335 kW)? At this level, OEM caps can flex, walk, or crack — especially in boosted or hard off-road applications. If your Patrol build is targeting this power range or beyond, billet main caps are cheap insurance to keep your bottom end alive.
When pushing power through a Nissan TB42 or TB45 engine — especially with boost or hard off-road use — the factory main caps become a liability. This complete 7-cap Billet Main Cap Set delivers the strength and alignment needed for high-performance and heavy-duty builds.
