Timing chain

[180degrees]

So why is it a ticking time bomb?

Cause your engine is going to explode, someone on a forum said it so we must take it as gospel

Not referring particularly to Tony's post...just generally....and I don't just see failures on forums....that's just internet tripe as far as I'm concerned...read my post and youll notice ...from real life experience

That's why I called it a "skewed cross-section" rather than "totally biased against x y or z". Not everyone's here to bitch, some are here for other reasons - but if you scored the threads as "complaint - non-complaint" you KNOW the balance is going to be on the 'complaint' side (where 'complaint' is defined as "asking about what is perceived, seen or proven as a problem").

Not as many threads about flower arrangements (and Dave, you really need to lift your game there) or cross-stitching seams on lingerie. Come on guys, what is WRONG with you all?

The day the Labor party start cross-stitching or flower arranging is the day Dave makes threads related to such interesting topics.

I still wish that our engines used timing gears rather than chains and tensioners.

Yeah a 4 cyl version of the 4.2l. Get rid of all the electrical crap. The 4.2 is like a good watch.

Yep - expensive, hard to find & largely impractical.

That's because you turn up randomly & revive the ******* -- let it be ffs.

I revive it......you are a such a dick.

Well if it ain't you & it ain't me who then?

 

[Krankin]

Stan Cash! that's who.

 

[KraftyPg]

I hear that like all good things from the 80's Stan is back.

Does he sell timing chains?

 

[Krankin]

well he should.....'He's the tin shed cowboy'

 

[nakedape]

Stan Cash! that's who.

Who? No, don't bother, I'll google him.

That'd be a novel idea. YD25.com.au do have the better alternative - but no chains at all would be too much to ask for when they could put in recycled BMX chains to ensure the dealers could flog spares & score hours of labour.

You have to wonder why they couldn't add some bullet-proofing like that and would have to question their motives.

 

[KraftyPg]

Who? No, don't bother, I'll google him.

He was the fore runner for all the current franchise store, in fact the entire Good Guys brand and business is built on the Stan Cash business structure.

Your rite about the BMX chain Old Tony. That was exactly what I thought when I changed mine. The Nissan built 4.2l patrol diesel has timing gears. I have had tree 4.2's over the years and never had to put a spanner on one of them. They just keep running. The only thing they did to the 4.2's in the GU was add EGR that needed to be blocked. I now that that engine out dated and did lack performance unless you worked them up, but their reliability can't be beaten. I know what I would rather have under the bonnet crossing the Simpson or doing the canning.

It is a very common fault on YD25, Due to high oil acidity caused by agressive EGR activity! REPROGRAM YOUR ECM's people!!! There is a countermeasure software level that should be installed on D40 and R51 WHEN THE CHAIN IS REPLACED. this addresses the oil quality issues.

 

[anthonyh]

Who and where can you get this done mate?

 

[seventies47]

Decent nissan dealership will be able to do it for ya
