pairrothead01 Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 I don't know the 3.5, but that looks like a dowel pin to me.Had the chance to chat with a technician at local Nissan, it was shared with me that some 2003 pathfinders had dowels installed vs plugs. Also, to prevent any coolant spillage into the time chain cover with this dowel install there is a drainage into oil pan. But this comes with the need to drain oil after job.Interesting, because I did not find anything over the inter-web to suggest this was fact.....I will just have to keep my eyes opening and observe during the removal if it is a fact.Will share afterward.....Who doesn't want to remove a timing chain cover......the adventure.....cost....time....I should rethink this....hmmmm.Sent from my LG-K425 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
