Nissan 2.5L Timing Chain Replacement (Part 2) -Fixing it Forward

1. "This is the time on Sprockets when we dance."

2. Lol randomly clicked on this video and I’m actually about to do a head gasket replacement on this same type of car lol not looking forward to it to much

3. Great video Eric. After watching this I replaced the timing chains on my son's 2002 Nissan Xtrail (QR25DE engine) over the weekend. Over 1000 RPM the engine runs and sounds great. At idle there is a loud rattle from the chain which appears to be coming from the metal guides on the lower timing chain cover which surround the crankshaft sprocket. I did notice when putting this cover on that the chain was a bit slack and it was difficult to get the cover over the chain on the sprocket even with the new tensioner on and the pin removed. The chain seemed slack on the non tensioner side. Any thoughts on what may be the reason for this?

4. Thanks my Eric, but I have a question where you bought that Honda silicone that you used in the Nissan that looks like it works nice
   again thanks

5. I done everything to the T on this video and now I'm getting a bad vibration and weird noise and it gets worse and louder as you accelerate. Really is a kick in the nuts especially because I done this on a 02 nissan altima which requires dropping the sub frame alot of work to have it vibrating like crazy. It has no misfires and runs and idles fine just terrible vibration and loud weird noise

6. That shit started up with the same or different problems

7. No gaskets in store

8. another thing I admire the way you work, you don't curse/swear whenever you struggle, coz if that was me? that workshop are filled with swear words😄

9. Man I sure wish I would have watched these vids when they were current; I would have suggested to do the balancer shaft removal since you had it all apart and it would have only taken you minutes to do.

10. Hi you need to make a video of how to change the water pump of v6 ?

11. That’s not a balance shaft chain… it’s the oil pump chain

12. Thanks Eric, nandana Motors, Galle,sri Lanka

13. Never ever buy a Nissan with a Renault M9R engine, in fact save yourself the heartache and don't buy a Nissan period. In the last year and my first year of ownership of a 2009 x trail 2.0 dci this is what I have had to repair. Naturally timing chain that's a given, chain tensioner failed and top of chain guides snapped causing chain to go slack causing damage to top sprockets, bottom sprocket and crankshaft pulley/ bearing to slip, luckily i caught it in time noticed chain slap on chain cover. SRS system changed clock spring in steering wheel, new DPF, REAR wheel bearings shot, new exhaust, front lower radiator mounting beam, rusted to hell one side of it had rusted straight through in garage today to get replaced, REAR seat release mechanism jammed, leaks from roof lights into interior roof lining causing staining, front shocks and top mounts need replaced, REAR shocks and bushings gone. 110000 miles with full service history. They are crap DO NOT BUY ONE.

14. Why work hard when have power tool ?? Lol same I ask my self but u did all through this video 😂

15. Wow I call bs not even a startup.

16. Omg you put the old timing cover back on. That has the same old factory oil pump built into it. It ALSO has the same old front main seal. Both those parts are already overdue for replacement, their as old as the chain you just replaced.

17. 24:12 "And at that point…." deserves an Oscar for Controlled Anger! LOL

    I calmly do the same…

    Or just swear a little with a smile (in my language)

    Eric, you are THE MAN

18. Question about the Timing Chain tensioner guide. Should it move much away from the block? Mine seems to have a lot of movement from engine block to frame rail.

19. Ppl must dog out the QR25 in order to replace these chains or either not changing oil on time. Mine is over 400k and has never been replaced

20. Damn buddy awesome work 👌👌👌

21. Thank you Eric the car guy

22. Thank you so much for the great information video cheers Buddy

23. I have a 2005nissan Altima crank but won't start

24. what would a honest mechanic charge for this work plus parts?..i got a 2002 se-r

25. Cecil B Demille has go nothing on you brother! Watch as our lone hero, ETCG, battles the nasty Nissan and it's army of retarded engineers who try every vile design to drop an engine on our hero's head and frustrate him at every turn of the wrench. An epic battle of man against evil and the extraordinary will and perseverance of our hero… 🙂

26. Wait, wait, I ran out of popcorn –be right back! Lol

27. Hate to tell you this Eric but you should have replaced the cover as well. They put the oil pump in where the crank comes through. I bought a rebuilt engine a few years ago. The pump failed last week. Now I have to do everything you just did just to replace the cover. Cause some ass hole at Nissan thought it would be cute to make you have to take the bottom off the motor just to replace the timechain cover/oil pump. Ugggg somebody shoot me now.

28. Better maitenace and the chain will hold it lots longer.

29. FWIW, some of the kits come with the VVT hub/sprocket too – FAI TCK31VVT vs TCK31 vs TCK31WO (no sprockets)

    There's quite a cost spread between them too. $160 – $200 – $430

30. I have a slight ticking noise at idel maybe this is my problem

31. I would have cut the fender off ! God bless you and your family Aloha

32. I'm late to the party but what battery impact do you use?not the dewalt one eather

33. Why would the upper chain stop spinning altogether ? Upper tensioner failure allowing slack in the chain on the bottom ?

34. 27:30 that's how I play with boobies.

35. Not putting enough sealant will help prevent your car from rusting.

36. Eric, I do appreciate the fact that you give us 2 hand mechanic work in your videos. Others' videos I've seen we got one hand mechanic work and it is hard to watch. Kudos to you.

37. Eric, this video is so valuable for an engine mechanic—especially in third world countries where the labor cost is virtually nothing but the material cost is everything, but in America how many garden variety mechanics would replace the timing chain?????
