I have no clue how many miles are on my redtop, so before I put it in I was thinking about changing the Timing Chain and Guides. I read that the 91 Sentra B13 chain will work. Is this true for the guides as well?
Also, is there any way to tell if your chain and/or guides need to be changed, or should I just do it. Thanks!
Timing Chain and Guides
Look for cracks on the chain links, the guides are good unless they are broken or cracked. that clean *** motor you got don't need no timing chain! crazy talk! but if you do, you have to remove the upper oil pan bolts...two are attached to the front cover....why won't this damned front cover come off!<----me saying thisshaun
Hey Shaun! I do talk crazy at times. The engine is real clean and like Jason said, the cams look real good. I just thought I'd take a peak before I put it all in. I've started ordering the parts, so I should be able to start putting the engine in as soon as I get back from Hawaii. It helps that I just bought my wife a new car so my 240 is back to being my toy. Big tips at the strip club made that possible!
If anyone is looking for an engine or parts, check these guys out!www.jgycustoms.com They'll treat you right and their prices are great. They're a little crazy, but that just makes the whole experience that much better

Nah, leave it on there. Nissan timing chains and engines have a history of being very resilant. With one of my Datsun's, the chain guide broke in half and was sitting in the oilpan. The chain kept spinning, and I was revving that thing to 6000+ RPMs all the time. :rolleyes
Yet none the less, I got the chain replaced on the current engine that should be going into the car sometime soon. The SR20DET is too nice of an engine to run into the ground. The L-series on the other hand....
