Nissan Repair: Nissan timing, interference engine, timming belt


Question
I have a nissan 92 pathfinder with a 3.0 V6. I believe the timming belt broke. No dist rotation. Does anyone have a timing belt diagram showing all the timing mark alignments they can send me? and is this engine an interferance engine. Could the valves be bent from the belt break.  

Answer
Duane,

It is an interference engine.  Hope nothing is bent.  The timing is pretty easy if you use a Nissan belt.  Line the crank on TDC and then turn the cams to the pointer at the top and install the belt.  You can get a diagram out of a Haynes or Chilton manual or nissanusa.com and download it for $20 bucks.  The library has reference books and you can get a photograph there for the cost of a copy.
