and as for the driveway purple stuff, carb cleaner and a high power pressure washer
as far as usual.... it happens so get used to it, i went through 2 before the 3rd worked right, discount's parts arent that great.

any more questions call me 813-416-1436, ive done this too many times

ELUDER- its more fun doing a timing chain in the car than that. first you have to get the oil pan off and to get the oil pan to drop far enough you have to loosen the motor mounts and jack the motor up then its a piece of cake, but thats the fun part ne way.
I was just saying that it's a good preventive maintnence measure, i know that it is more work , but since earlier timing chained nissans are prone to having guides/tensioners fail , it would be a good idea to replace.
