[@austin.t5382]

[@aikonjapan]

Its my parents cars, somewhere on the channel. 🤫 i really like bringing it up tho

[@Shaqs-Feet]

Finally someone who fixes the issue and not just shows what is wrong with it

[@aikonjapan]

Gotchu!

[@rholt7551]

Nissan in the the mid 90’s put out a TSB for the upper guides on the KA to be removed as they were deemed unnecessary.

[@aikonjapan]

Facts!

Did you rotate the crank pulley ?

[@KosaWithAK]

Big question man took off the chain guides now the car cranks but doesn’t start? Any suggestion? Maybe timing off?

[@andrewmendoza5506]

In order to do the timing chain guides, do I have to drain the oil ? Just wondering because my k24 has that same issue with the loud ass chain lol

[@aikonjapan]

To do what i did, i didnt drain the oil.

I am trying to do this rn on my own and my dad kept bugging me over my sholder cuz he didn’t want me messing anything up then came time to take off the distributor and that’s when he got all scared saying when I put it back it’s gonna mess up the timing on my chain even though I had already marked with a marker where it originally was and I was wondering if that’s true so I can finish up in time 6:31

nice video thanks for sharing 😃👍

[@aikonjapan]

thank you for supporting the channel!

Best of luck to ya. I’ve watched a single cam eat through a set of timing chain guides in 3000 miles before 🤣. Nissan didn’t design the guides using that great of plastic so it tends to get brittle after just a few heat cycles. You’ll notice they use a different plastic on their newer timing chain motors like the MR18 series found in Versas, Altimas, Etc. I don’t know why there wasn’t ever a mechanical revision for these guides. Specifically the driver side guide tends to fail first.

[@Arthitxai2048]

And it will be similar or the same in the sr20det engines

[@aikonjapan]

Im not too sure? I think SR20s are tiktok belt driven? I could be wrong tho

[@calabunga_7929]

my s13 cranks but doesn’t start, i have a feeling it’s because it’s been running with the same oil for a couple years. Not 100% sure tho any pointers?

[@aikonjapan]

I dont think its the oil, chack is your timing is right, and its getting fuel and air and spark

[@calabunga_7929]

@@aikonjapan damn it okay ahah i’m guessing checking the timing is a headache

[@carfriendsimulator9981]

Look at your ignition control module/ignitor if its dying randomly on you

[@aikonjapan]

Will do man! I appreciate it! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 spark plugs looked kinda old too, ill probably do that too

[@DJizz82]

Thought you had to pullout the whole oil pump out, I was wrong

[@toningcabbage3803]

I took off the top timing guide but it still rattles a bunch? Can it be the other side guide or?

[@toningcabbage3803]

Nvm 🤦‍♂️

[@aikonjapan]

@@toningcabbage3803 yup theres 2 lol

[@Fuddricks]

Hmm idk that's iffy to me I just replaced everything chain guides and tensioner. I also redid the heads though so I was already there 😅

[@r3ktfahdle120]

My car did the same and now it shakes like a space shuttle and wants to die out might be time to do the whole timing chain lol

[@aikonjapan]

at that point id do the timing chain haha but it sounds like it could be a timing issue. hope you get it all sorted out soon!
