I'm doing timing chain replacement on my 05 Quest today. I have almost everything stripped from the engine, just a few items in front of the cover left to go. This video restored my confidence in being able to do the work at home. It's 14 degrees outside today here in Spokane WA. I made a makeshift garage out of one half of the tarp cover carport I'll post again wben I'm done, let you know how it went. Thank you for this video.

Great Video. Looking at the cv shaft boot, and serpentine belt., it is no wonder, why this engine chain failed/ I own 3 Maximas and 1 Altima 3.5. Yes, they are known for Timing chain issues, I have repaired 2 of mine, The other 2 are running and sounding great! This motor just cannot tolerate owner neglect and abuse. My altima has 273k and 1 Maxima has 195k. Simple Maintenance CHANGE THE OIL!

I have watched and saved so many of these vids on changing this timing chain. I have now removed all of them and this is the only video I will use again! THIS is the best, easiest yet still comprehensive video I have ever seen on doing this job. You have made the most difficult job seem so much easier and less overwhelming. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!!! 🥰

I just found out i have to replace mine. Thank you for your clear and precise video. Love it when you minimize the work. Thank you and keep up the good work.

I have NO IDEA why you have that many thumbs down, this was a GREAT video on a VERY COMPLICATED job!

[CORZER]

Thank you for the series! This came just in time. I may have to tackle this myself as I just picked up an 03 Maxima today which is showing DTC P0011 and P0021 codes and running in fail safe with no power whatsoever. Upon inspection of the VVT solenoids I noticed blue RTV beading around the timing cover perimeter indicating someone has been inside it. So I pray whoever did the work did it right and my chain hasn't skipped a tooth and my issue is simply camshaft position sensors which I will test and replace if needed tomorrow morning!

This is an excellent demonstration of what it entails to remove and replace timing chain, whomever gave you thumbs down has got to be jealous and that's why,

These videos of changing the timing chain is the best videos on YouTube

Loved the video and all three parts. Great advice and tips along the way. This was very helpful going into my 350Z timing chain replacement!

About to attempt this job memorial day weekend 2022 thanks appreciate the direction.

I learned alot from doing my Quest. You do not have to unbolt the A/C pump. You do not have to remove the bracket for the power steering pump. Its not as hard as people say to take the Alternator bot in or out. On the main belt tensioner, make sure the pulley is at LEAST half way up the bracket when installing it or it WILL NOT slide. Meaning if the pulley was allowed to go all the way down in its bracket, when you go to adjust it, you will find it JAMMED and unable to go back up when reinstalling it. Putting that thermostat housing back in SUCKS . You cannot SEE anything. You shouldn't have to lift the engine up at all to get the timing cover off. Strap that power steering reservoir as far against the fender as possible. Remove the fuse block or you cannot get the timing cover off. NUMBER ONE THING IS COLOR CODE EVERYTHING. I got a package of colored paint pens and used them for EVERYTHING. make matching colored marks for whatever you remove. Connectors, bolts, nuts, everything. It makes things much easier when its time to reassemble.

really really I helped so much your video for remove the timing cover, I'm going to replace the water pump, the problem with that pump, the ears that hold the pump is broken because it's super stick, thank you so much for this information bro, greetings from Mexico men 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[thesrt]

I don’t usually comment on YouTube, but thank you for this. I thought I had to remove the upper oil pan. Thank you 🙏🏼

[dmalott]

What a fantastic video! I fear I am going to have to do the water pump on my wifes car and will likely just replace the timing chain while I'm at is so I don't have to go back in here at any time in the future.

Guess I'm selling my car to much work for me

[HailAnts]

Wow. As a semi-pro mostly backyard mechanic I would not even attempt this. What I'd call a nightmare job.

I thought the firewall spark plugs were hard! Nice to know about those two bolts holding the timing case cover on _that are inside the oil pan!_

Those would have been a dealbreaker..

[williamguzman]

en unos meses estare haciendo un cambio de juntas de culata y power steering y tu video me sera de mucha ayuda, te agradesco mucho por que gracias al video aclare varias dudas que tenia

[tonymai]

Wow, I got the same car, same engine, I did this timing chain job but I did not replace the oil gallery gaskets. I saw one piece of gasket in the oil pan but I did not know what was it. Now I have to do it AGAIN, after only 5-7k miles. what a nightmare on this nissan. Thanks you, I watch this to refresh how to do the job.
