do you know for suir that the belt or chain snapped and was it after you were told it snapped that you got all this work done on the car ???

Hi Ray,click on link to see the timing chain removal guide.

This is a tough job unless you have the tools needed to hold cams and crank in place because if they move even a fraction out of place the pistons will interfere with the valves in the head

This could be your wheel bearing,raise front end on bad tire side and grab tire and move it around to see if it is loose,http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairinfo/repairguide/repairGuideContent.jsp?fromSearchPage=true&pageId=0900c15280265793&partName=Front+Wheel+Bearings&partId=0900c15280265793

no exept if the chain are broken or you install the chain wrong

you have to remove the oilpans,not the cylinder head.

5 hours

it has a timming chain,which if it hasnt broke i wouldnt be to concerned about it unless youve reached 200,000 they usually outlast the car its self chains are very hard to bust,but if you decide to go forward with this the chain runs any where from 36.00 to 86.00 any where in between i suggest you not pay more then 60.00 4 the chain hope this helps you im 100% its a chain

Both intake and exhaust ,cam lobes,should be pointing downward.There should be no lift on the rockers

Hi there,
you will need new upper timing chain and sprockets. Common problem on altima your year. Nissan has TSB for it. First they had us remove the upper timing chain guide, but after that, they had us replace all top chain components.
