I have a 1997 Maxima and I replaced the head gaskets and waterpump but I'm having trouble reseting the timing chain and cams. Can anyone help please I only got 3 out of 6 cylinders firing.

It is hard to describe online especially for a v6 because you have two banks of cylinders to set the correct valve positions on to get correct valve timing.. Don't run the engine until you are sure you have the timing right or you will cause damage. My best advice is get a manual and follow it's instructions. Best of luck.

Thanks a lot for the feed back. I got the manual and the car is running great now.
