Dope. Im bouta order this crap tomorrow..with water and oil pump. Its gonna be 112 outside and thats where the repair will be done. Video was a good sneak peak.
Nice vid! Can you help me with two questions as I'm in the middle of this job myself: 1) I've read about the "rope trick" on several places online - does it help you 'lock' the engine timing like using a flywheel locker? How do you do it? Is it at TDC? I just don't fully understand. 2) following that, I didn't purchase the flywheel locking tool. Do you have any tricks or a combination that work best to lock the flywheel? Unfortunately, I forgot to put the vehicle in gear and 4LO before starting this job. I had planned on jamming the flywheel from the transmission access hatch and maybe also the starter engagement spot. possibly also using a pipe-wrench on some of the pulleys before breaking the crank pulley free.
I wish you were close to me in mid michigan so you could do mine for me. The rest of my pathfinder is in fantastic shape and I can't get anybody to fix my time chain problem for me and I really don't have money for a different car or 3500 to fix this or 5000 for a new motor 😢😢
yoooo. I'm in the middle of doing my chains ran into the exact same issues. my secondary guide is in my oil pan lol and my primary tensioner is shot, the chain has slack. my exhaust cams were off time a little bit also. what were you holding with the pry bar when you were fixing the timing?
Shockingly it had not jumped time yet. It was loose enough I think it physically could have under the right conditions. It lived about 10k like that though. Main problem was it slipping on the water pump. It was that loose. When we let it idle and it was hot outside it would try to overheat...
@MrFixitTV hey buddy good video. Were your water pump teeth messed up at all? I'm going through this change right now just waiting on seals to be able to finish, but I noticed my water pump teeth were gnawed off a crazy amount, and also if you go back and watch that deep groove I'm the cover was from the chain rubbing near the main tensioner not the water pump cause my cover looks identical 😂. NOT trying to prove you wrong or anything just saying. I've not been a fan of nissan and their timing chains ever. I used to have a bunch of hardbody pickup trucks and I've changed several. One would think they would make a better guide that's not purely plastic 🎉
I replaced my timing chain tensioners, etc, with all new oem parts, oil galley gaskets, and it still rattles around 2-2500 rpms cruising however its 1/10 of the noise before sounded like diesel tick
Please I can’t find any details about retiming nor anyone to explain I’ve started to do this same job and my only mistake was not setting TDC before removing main tensioner and main chain retiming is needed how?
Just roll the crank over until number one piston is all the way up and the crank pulley timing mark also lines up with mark on block. What determines TDC is the cam position when #1 piston is all the way up (comes up twice per cycle). If #1 is at top and cam timing marks are lined up then you are now at TDC.
I’m not a car guy, but I’m glad to see you back on the air. That means you guys are OK.😁✌️
Thank you very much. You did an excellent job. It was really nice to see you could do that with the engine in the vehicle.
Factory secondary tensioner has a piston ring type seal, the Cloyes does not. Pistons seem to be the same size though.
How many miles does the nissa had before you start to replace the timing chain 😊

Are those upper secondary chain guide tensioners just spring controlled or also hydraulically controlled? Like is there a need to prime them with oil?

With that slack on the right side of the chain, did the chain jump a tooth or did you hold it to prevent movement?

Good job 👍
thanks good video! For anyone doing this, while you are in here do your gallery gaskets... mine where shot

Check your sensors.

@@MrFixitTV it worked I really appreciate your response it was fast!!!
The power steering bracket was designed by a sadist! A socket hits the exhaust and a wrench won't reach the recessed bolt heads.
I'm not convinced by the work..still making timing chain NOISE😅😅

This engine design is a shitshow
