I have a 92 sentra-e
Not sure if it has a timing belt or chain it has 105k miles

a search would bring you to the conclusion that your car has a timing chain

 

[Slacky]

actually i think its 2 timing chains just to make it a lil more gay

 

[cruisnhard]

1.6l have one timing chain. the bigger engines have two.

1.6l have one timing chain. the bigger engines have two.

Don't spread misinformation like that. The GA16DE has two timing chains. No other motor in the Nissan family line has that kind of setup (at least the ones from '91 and up). The other motors either having a timing chain or a timing belt.

yeah GA16de has 2 chains. i believe cause 1 is for the VTC solenoid. . .

Here is a diagram of the GA16DE timing chains from the FSM:

The bottom chain drives an idler sprocket which drives the upper chain. Since the block is narrower than the spacing between the cams, the bottom chain fits in the block, and the upper chain goes to the cam sprockets in the head.

Thanks for the diagram :cheers:

i thought you were asking about two chains around the cam gears like the 2.4l. i didnt mean to to give out wrong info.

The KA24DE engine has the same timing chain setup as the GA16DE. I checked in the 1997 Altima and 1994 240SX FSMs.

my chain was diffrent from my brother inlaws 2.4l altima.i checked when we painted our valve covers.
