Question 1998 Frontier - Timing Chain Replacement Questions!

I've been reading a little bit about the procedure online and I'm currently in the stage of looking for parts.

Where is the cheapest place to buy a replacement timing chain overhaul kit for this truck?

I will be replacing the water pump at the same time, and giving the truck a much needed tune up and a little TLC.

Thanks in advance!

Unless, I am mistaken; Timing Chains do not require replacement. Timing Belts, do, however.

From what I've read, the V6s before 2005 use the Timing Belt design.

This truck uses Timing Chains, and yes, chains do stretch over time and years of use.

In this particular case, I'm pretty sure the guides are the issue, but we're doing a complete overhaul anyways. Getting an awful rattling/engine noise in the mid-high RPMs.

Well........ sure! Over years, everything wears out.

I'm buying the first round!

How many miles on your frontier? The key to making these chains last is a half decent oil change scheldule.
