Nissan Repair: Nissan n15 1.6 litr pulsar, nissan n15, timing chain


Question
n15 1.6 Pulsar, i would like to know if i was to remove the head, where do i line the timing chain marking upto to make reinstallation less of a hassle.

Answer
Hi souzan -

Turn the engine until TDC - the timing mark lines up with the pointer on your timing cover. This is your reference point. From here, you can proceed to remove everything. Be careful not to disturb the motor or turn it in any way. Once the valve cover is removed, and the timing cover, you will see lines or arrows on the sprocket that aligns with the head of the vehicle. This indicates the position of the distributor, and must not be disturbed as well. Once the timing belt is off, everything must be lined up EXACTLY, otherwise the car will not start.

I think I have a diagram, if you email me I can send it to you -
