KA-broken timing chain

[-EnVus-]

Yes KA's are bad about Timing chains and Tensioner/guides having issues. It is easier to fix on rwd KA IMO.
Timing chains can break easy they can get worn,Stretched all kinda stuff.
It can be replaced and run great. If it was a OEM chain then it needs replaced anyways to last longer.
Just be sure to change the Tensioners/Guides also it will be a whole kit.

thanks man, it a bit harder on the FWD seeing the chain is over on the side. Since i won't be doing it, {unless i buy another car first.} it would probelly be cheaper to get a whole new engine. My friend works at a tire shop and they have that estimate software. It estimated 12 hours to change a timing chain on a 1994 Altima!
