oh my...

No, but that's not a bad idea.

I got it turned where my hex key hole sits around 5'o clock. And I did the 90 degree turn test it seemed correct, I think that you're right about it being too tight; so now what do I do? Nothing and let the belt loosing up on its on or(OH MY GOD!!!) take it back apart and retension it!?

(2)days for me taken my time...

Still running good; but I have a slight noise that sound like the belt tensioner as if it needed greasing. It only does it when its at idle; but when I rev it up it goes away or quiet down. I but driving it for a week with no problem; no loss in power; no low/high rpm problem just that slight noise. Has anyone ran into this problem?

I had to do it now because of the weather changing and also I didn't know the condition of the belt. I was lucky that I did do it when I did. I don't think it would have lasted through the winter!!!!

I'm FINISH!!! I want to thank everybody who has given me the courage and their knowledge to do my first TIMING BELT change! After I finished I let it idle,refilled the coolant and some of the transmission fluid that leaked out; then I drove it around the neighborhood to see if it would BLOW up or something! After watching it awhile there were no leaks no timing issues or anything(so far ). AGAIN THANKS EVERYBODY!!!!

I knew that I would have to take those cams spockets off well; ROUND (2)!!!

Ok I'm glad that I chosed to do the t/b now because it was very loose to me. I could almost pull it off the tensioner while it was on. I was told take you can trust the look of the belt to determine the condition of the belt so I was glad I chose this weekend to do it. The tensioner and spring was very rusty to me. can't really tell in this picture... rusty everywhere! Ok i didn't do the crank seal, because it didn't seem bad. I got the water pump and thermostat in and the t/belt is on and everything lines up; but I tried to do the bypass hose without taking off the cam gear and backshield. Needless to say i said f@&% it in (5) different languages!!! Here we go should I take off the cam gear and back shield and replace that little motherf@&%*r!!! Or is there a trick to it?

On chill right now!!!

I'm Ready!!! Tomorrow morning, LET THE FUN BEGIN!!! ***if you see something that I still need please let me now***

Autozone had a bypass hose that was for the pathfinder but it was about a foot long, I don't think that was the right one or was it? Was I suppose to trim it down?

wow what's the odds on that that happening??

got it thanks.

ok, i got them just in case...

I'm about to do my timing belt change this Friday if the weather permits but before I start wrenching I just want to make sure that this newbie has everything I need to do this job by myself!! My list includes a nissan timing belt, a nissan tensioner and spring, a nappa water pump, (2) nappa cam seals and a advance auto crank seal. I also have all of the replacement nissan belts ie..a/c,power steering and alternator. My tools are 27mm socket for the crank pulley,hex socket for the tensioner, enough sockets for all the other covers and stuff a have to take off. I'll go today and get a thermostat also. The small hose behind the cover I do not have but I'm guessing that I can get a hose in the same diameter at the auto store I hope. I also bought a Harbor Freight electric impact wrench. I have a breaker bar also. Did I forget anything? Please let me know(ALL TIPS or CONCERNS are welcome!!)

I bought mine on ebay for $50.00....

wow

Looks good; did you use the plastic ties to mount it up there or did you make a bracket? Coundn't tell on the pics.

Is it sitting kinda low?

87 yep...

wow...

AWESOME!!!

That's the way I was told also....

x2 Good job, DOC!!!
