Hey guys,
I am replacing the heads on a 1993 Pathfinder XE-V6. Does anyone have some information or maybe a diagram of the engine. I need help reinstalling the heads, what position do I place the cams, and what position should the pistons be sitting, when I place the heads back on the block??
Thanks,
Danny

I just got your email..

I highly reccomend yyou buy a $15.00 haynes manual from autozone or wherever. There is allot of parts involved with setting up the heads.

I have replaced the timing belts on this engine on 4 VG30s. I had never had to remove a head yet, but timing is critical. The heads and block need to be at TDC before connecting the belt and putting the heads on the block. The valves DO hit the pistons. So set the heads at TDC before putting back on block.

Just curious why are you removing the heads, broken exhaust studs??
