in this paper we study right $n$-engel group elements. by modifying a group constructed by newman and nickel, we construct, for each integer $ngeq 5$, a 2-generator group $g =langle a, brangle$ with the property that $b$ is a right $n$-engel element but where $[b^k,_n a]$ is of infinite order when $knotin {0, 1}$.
