RedPath88 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hmm, obviously operator error... If that was what happened, I except responsibility for my own actions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Of course, you over torqued the sprigot flange which bound the cam ferrule causing the cam to snap... Sheesh !!! It is wierd to hear that several others have had the same issue... Question is, is it a defective batch (or factory), statistical failure in a poor design or something to do with the iming belt change... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B It is possible that it was a result of any of those... one thing I wish Nissan would have done would have been to use an Automatic Timing Belt Tentioner.. would have made life so much easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until it fails and you hop a tooth or 8... :o I suspect the idea was that it was to be properly dealt with within prescribed service intervals. One of the reasons I bought a 95 (105k interval) with 110k on it with a receipt for timing belt replacement 6 months prior... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
