Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / February 200593 Sentra timing chain cover
I have a chance to buy a 93 Sentra XE that has a bad oil leak in the timing chain cover. I'm thinking the chain is bad and wore a hole in the cover. Do I have to pull the motor to fix it or can I just drop it down a little? Do I need any special tools? If the chain is bad, what else needs changed? Thanks, Chris You can do it in the car but it is tight. If you could drop the motor it is much easier. I do not think it sawed a hole in the cover but it could have. Most of the time it is the seal that goes. If you have chain noise you are probably right and you will have to get another cover or weld your up and that takes a good person with aluminum > I have a chance to buy a 93 Sentra XE that has a bad oil leak in the timing > chain cover.

Chris Dropping the motor down a bit helps. But, you can do it if you take your time and get the engine on top dead center before you take it apart. Be sure to mark the position of all gears before the chain comes off. It is pretty difficult to see once the cover is off and since it is so close to the shock tower. I like to use an inspection mirror to get the right angle to make sure the marks are dead on. >>You can do it in the car but it is tight. If you could drop the motor it >>is much easier.
