2005 Nissan Altima 3.5L SE timing chain replacement

[brit_d]

Hello! I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for any helpful info. My husband is about to change the timing chains, tensioners, guides, and water pump but he isn't familiar with this particular engine. He can completely rebuild the engine in his truck but it's a GMC with a 5.7L Vortec so he's worried he's a little out of his element. Does anyone have any helpful hints or info for when he does this? He has full access to an entire auto shop so tools isn't an issue.

I would highly advise looking at the fsm (factory service manual) before anything it will have lots of great information on how to do a large variety of different things. I included the vehicle specific link for your convenience. I personally have not worked much with any of these repairs/replacements but i know when i need help this is my first resource
