thanks for this video, as a 2005 Xterra owner I know i have to deal with this in the future (because so far is not making any bad noise), thanks man for posting this.
4:30 is false. All timing primary and secondary marks will line up when the engine is rotated enough times. It's a long procedure, and it sucks really bad (ask me how I know) but if you crank long enough, eventually the engine will time out. I cranked on mine for about an hour and a half to time mine out before removing the primary chain to replace gallery gaskets.
Why waste time doing that? It's not necessary. Line up the crank keyway and the cam to the mark on the back timing cover and forget about. When u install the chains n sprockets u align the colored links along with the crank key being on its mark and the cam on its mark, after that no need to worry about the colored links. U can spin around many times and although the links may not be on the dots, it's irrelevant.
Hello. excellent video. My question is on the cam sprockets where the 2 copper links go. As I've read, on the right side the 2 copper links align with the circles and the left side the 2 copper links align with the oval makes. Is that how you did it ? Or did I not read it right.. Thanks!
Hi, I was just wondering if you did work with the can gear, the one you mentioned had a spring come out. I have a code p0011 that shows the passenger side cam gear or phaser. Can work done on them to see if they functión right? Can you provide the York for all of the bolts going on the cover,? Thanks.
Did you manage to disconnect the irksome metal pipe that goes through the port hole on the front of the timing cover before taking of the cover? Likewise, did you reconnect the pipe before or after replacing the timing cover?
@jcs4567 great video, thanks! One question: how did you get the metal coolant pipe off (and back on) that passes through "port" at the top of the engine?
texas tough I would say no, but since you have to drain coolant. I would remove the radiator, and fan and see how much room you have. I think you should have enough, but keep in mind all the tools you will need to pull the engine.
nowdays they make trucks for looks, not the working man. its a 1/2 day job to pull the radiator in these trucks. I replaced mine a few months ago. whereas my 94 chevy is a 20 minute job.

Did you replace the two o-rings that slide into the cams? The ones you mentioned were binding up a bit when installing the front cover

I dont think its possible you have to go throw it 😂😂😂
It is possible, u simply get some long nose needle pliers. I did mine and wasn't very difficult. This whole job isn't that bad really.
Great detailed instructions.. Thank you
@jcs4567 great video, thanks! One question: how did you get the metal coolant pipe off (and back on) that passes through "port" at the top of the engine?
As a mechanic, I'd never trust an engineer to show me how to repair something. XD
Do you have a link or a doc for the torque specs ? I can't find the guide rail and tensioner bolt torque.. Thanks !
What about the back 2 chains
easier to just pull the engine out?
