Swap it out for a new one, probably getting loose
what car? if its a 240 which i assume it is it doesn’t have a belt it has a chain…
ca18 have a belt…do sr’s?
no chain
sr’s got a chain
Is it the timing chain rattle in older ka24de’s? If so just take out both of the guides. Its completely safe from what I understand. just annoying
yea my timing chain busted because it kept rubbing on the guides. take out the guides and it should be good
If its KA24DE It will probably be the guides, take them out!
yes its ka24de… any pointers on how i can take out the guides?
look at fsm … best way to go about it…
Heres what I used, Make sure you take both out. If not you will be doing it again
The guides are there for a reason, you need to change your tensioner and chain.
Removing guides is just a band aid fix.
surprised no one has burned the new guy for not knowing his car has a timing chain
only if they are seized, go through that guide I put up. It tells you everything
Nissan has a TSB saying to remove the upper timing chain guide. It is tensioned using oil pressure from the engine, so it is probably gunked up inside. I just sprayed penetration oil in it and worked it back and forth, i also did an engine oil flush to help flush out the sludge. I recommend BG hot flush. But yeah just follow the guide its easy.
