Matthew. When i start my 2.5 2012 Nissan Altima SL i hear the timing chain rattling until i let it run for a little while and it'll stop. I need to get a timing chain but ill be my very first time to work on a Nissan. I watched a few of your videos and I must say, you're dam good 👍.
L Thank you for the information in the video I thought I had done messed up but you clarified a bunch of stuff for me. Thank you taking a time and doing a well Incorned presentation.
Make marks on the back of your cams once it's set to TDC before removing the old chain... It's the simpelest way.. that way you know for sure where the old marks were and it will save you alot of time.. if you don't have colors on your chain, count the amount of teeth from mark to mark and color the links on the chain you will put on.. I've had to do that many times because I was using junkyard parts to get by..
I have the same motor on 18 lbs.. your awesome with this thank you so much for making this video!! Now..... every time on a cold start I hear this fast rattle that lasts for a good second then goes away, as the motor warms up it gets even quieter but it can still be heard just a little bit.. Reving the motor does not make it worse, not even if you rev it cold. The rattle sound is coming from the timing chain side of the engine and is louder towards the top. I’ve been told it’s the timing chain and or tensioner. I’m also getting oil on my belt and other pullies and it looks like it’s either comming from the front main seal or someplace near bcs I’ve cleaned the entire surface and I’ll find fresh motor oil on the face of the bearing behind the crank pully unless it’s leaking from a more mysterious place lol.. With your experience man what does this sound like to you plz...? Also I’m a master at paint and body and I love giving away my knowledge so I’m here for anyone who has questions for me!! I should leave the link here to a vid of the car so you get a better understanding.... ruclips.net/video/Q2n3APxJHcQ/видео.html
awww found your question.......yes sounds like a tensioner not working correctly causing chain to rattle. may also want to look in to your oil pump. the rattle comes the tensioner not building up hydraulic pressure correctly or fast enough. the rattle normaly happens upon cold start up and last for about 10-30 secs or until oil pressure builds up. sounds like it maybe time for a timing job. As for the oil leak maybe try getting some UV dye and a UV light. introduce it to the oil and then let it run for min and see if you can pin point where the dye is coming out. thanks for watching and supporting.
thanks for videos man really appreciate them! just resurfaced my cylinder head and while putting my cam sprockets i noticed i lost my marks on my chain. so as long as i have TDC and cams in correct position it shouldn’t matter how my chain is on?
ya know......I have been in situations where I did not have any marks on a chain or even a belt. so yes...so long as you know you have TDC you should be good. just make sure to turn the engine over by hand to check for valve clearance at least two full rotations.
Mathew new head gasket I put on this Nissan x trail timing chain come off the crank do I have to pull the bottom timing cover to check the mark or can I tdc and just line the top marks up?
Hi Matt I have a 2.0 that the top timing chain broke .i am not able to turn the engine by hand .i do not have any chains on.should I be able to turn the engine a full rotation?
Hey Matt I’m in the process of reinstalling the timing belt on my Nissan 2.5 but I notice some slack in the chain is it suppose to be like that or is the tensioner goin to take the slack out
Hello, we have problems with this engine can You help us to solve it? We are from the Czech Republic. we have problem with with camshaft position after start it comes to 43% and never to 0% on idle I don't know why. Timming is OK we replace timming chain and camshaft wheels and problem same we replaced the regulating oil valve that's regulate the camshaft wheel but nothing has changed and problem. same. Can you help me? Thanks a lot with any help.
hi Matthew, I have just replaced a head gasket and while i was installing the timing chain top gears, the timing chain slackened off. I haven't stripped the engine down as you have, the timing chain cover is still intact. is there a chance that the timing chain may have slipped off the timing mark on the crank gear? Just trying to avoid stripping the engine down completely as i don't have the space or the time. Any advice would be appreciated.
2002 Altima 2.5...I have the cam sensor code and timing over advanced code...through a little bit of deduction ive come to the conclusion my timing chain is stretched..car stalling...etc...it has 230k on the clock...sound about right?
Matt Shaughnessy compression is good..within a couple pounds all 4 cylinders...I haven’t pulled the head...I was kinda hoping to avoid that if possible
what about at start up? roc knocks and chain rattles can normally be heard upon start up and go with the flow of rpms...if you rev it you hear it get faster.........however i seen chains that only rattle when you give it the gas like you say......a "Knock" is pretty clear cut so if you find your self question a "knock" it mayb very well be a rattle and a chain.....Make sense?
. Hi i did a head gasket job. It started right up and about 30 to 45 seconds after running I could here it tapping and clink clank clunk.and the chain was loos why was it that way
uh oh!!!!!! yep I've been there before. have you checked the tensioner? maybe the chain jumped upon start up? issue is.......30-45 seconds of running and then stalling with clunks and clanks sounds like a few valves may have been taken out????
ruclips.net/video/v46g2afcHog/видео.html Close up of phaser gear and tensioner doing the noise clicking on startup thing while turning the crank by hand. and it’s a new phaser too just aftermarket so maybe it’s failing, like out the box
Hey thanks a million times over !!! You really saved me from junking my ride.that Interference info saved my motor.. ❤❤❤
Rare I say this to RUclips mechanics, but you did very well.

Nice timing setting bro
Do you have to drain the oil to do the timing?
So if there all the way up 1&4 and the cams are set to 11&3 I’m I good to start the car up ?
I got a Nissan Altima got a Nissan Altima 2002 2.5 changing the head gasket and I'm on the process of putting the time belt back on any advice
Thank you 👍👍👍
Nice mate.
I love you for this video
Thanks. Installing that timing chain is something else isn't it?
Legend...
I'm doing a head gasket replacement but I can't remover the timing chain cover.
Have you removed the oil pan? I believe there are bolts tucked behind the pan.
Thank you.....
You're welcome!

Yes that sounds possible. Can you perform a compression test and leak down test? Either won could confirm this.
Matt Shaughnessy compression is good..within a couple pounds all 4 cylinders...I haven’t pulled the head...I was kinda hoping to avoid that if possible
Ok next try a leak down test. See if it holds compression. If you past that test I'd say wait on pulling the head we will try a few other things.
Ok will do thank you
Klok NYC
just put the cams in the correct oreintation before you put the head on.
Idk if i have a rod knock or chain rattle. Idle nothing than i give it a little gas and it makes noise
what about at start up? roc knocks and chain rattles can normally be heard upon start up and go with the flow of rpms...if you rev it you hear it get faster.........however i seen chains that only rattle when you give it the gas like you say......a "Knock" is pretty clear cut so if you find your self question a "knock" it mayb very well be a rattle and a chain.....Make sense?
@@MattShaughnessy6 starts no noise. When i give ot gas it rattles or knocks.
How did you install balance chain?
.
Hi i did a head gasket job. It started right up and about 30 to 45 seconds after running I could here it tapping and clink clank clunk.and the chain was loos why was it that way
uh oh!!!!!! yep I've been there before. have you checked the tensioner? maybe the chain jumped upon start up? issue is.......30-45 seconds of running and then stalling with clunks and clanks sounds like a few valves may have been taken out????
