Timing chain tensioner 1994 convert

[brite]

I have noise like a rattle/scuff and I'm sure its from the timing chain and think the hydraulic tensioner is either worn or needs replaced. Can anyone tell me where I can find a write up of changing the tensioner and or chain at the same time.

This for my 1994 240sx Convert.Cheers guys.

i had to do the same thing on mine but i could not find any type of write up on it so i talked to a buddy of mine that works on nissans and he said just loosen the two bolts on it and replace it no prolbems and mine is running perfect i just have to find a bell houseing for a 92 ka24de so my trans will work now but it will work ok

Thanx for the reply, is that the bolts on the tensioner that you loosened.? I have a nissan repair book and it says the cylinder head has to come off but that I can not see, as that is a huge job to do. I was hoping I did get a reply like yours saying something a lot easier to fix the tensioner and change the chain. I like to hear experience over what I read before tackling a job like this.

I would think Nissan want a pile of $$$ as it does not look an easy job. If anyone else reads this, please reply if you had any work like this done.Cheers from Canada.
