Broken timing belt 1986 nissan pulsar nx

SOURCE: 1986 nissan 300zx timing belt replacement, cams moved!

the gears of the timing are marked with little indents on the gears and little dimples in the tin behind the gears on the cams and on the bottom gear (crank shaft) there is on the aluminum housing behind it the top is open and on the front side is a lip that only goes a short distance half inch or so and then it has a notch in that lip and goes back to the lip . thats the bottom timing notch . you line up the notch and the marks and its right ... turn the engin over twice and check it .. it should still be the same .. the timing belt needs to be only so tight so dont over do the adjustment .. half an inch of deflection at twenty pounds of presure .. measure it between the rear of the car cam and the tension adjuster .. half an inch should be measured as its more movement then normaly figured as tight i thought .. good luck .. paul in sw idaho

this is an interference motor, if cranked the valves will come into contact with the piston and cause major damage. Its very possible that valves may have bent(worst case). Have the belt replaced and engine pressure tested. Hopefully its not the worst case.

Your local auto parts store can get you the repair manual. As far a an owners manual, possibly from the Nissan dealer, or there are some available online.

1. Disconnect battery.2. make sure the engine is at top dead center(TDC).3. take belts off.4. Remove pulleys,except for the camshaft pulley..5. Remove timing belt cover.At this point you should see the timing belt and also the water pump,if it's not external.I suggest while you have access to the water pump that you replace it.6. loosen timing belt tensioner and and finally remove belt.On the camshaft pulley,there should be a notch,making sure the notch is at the top of the pulley. 7. Tighten the timing belt,but not too tight.7. Installation is reverse of removal.
