Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / July 200992 Sentra Classic--Timing Belt Issue
1992 Sentra Classic 1.6L 4 cyl. Going about 35MPH, my wife heard a buzzing sound and engine stopped. Timing belt snapped. Is there any chance that there was no valve damage. I had a 1988 Corolla 1.6L DOHC 16 valve. Same thing happened. New Belt and it was fine. Is the Nissan engine also a non-interference engine or am I sunk? Thank you  SignatureRegards, Richard Harison timing "belt" on a 92 1.6 sentra engine? the haynes manual indicates the 91 thru 94 engines have a timing chain. > 1992 Sentra Classic 1.6L 4 cyl. > Going about 35MPH, my wife heard a buzzing sound and engine stopped.

Sorry, assumed it was a belt. My question, however still stands. Can you help?

I took off the cover to see. It is also intact! So the break must be in whatever links the lower pulley to the crankshaft pulley (chain, belt, gear, etc.) Sadly I was hoping my question about bent valves would be answered.

According to everything I've checked, every Sentra after 1989 has a chain. Be that as it may, if you've got the valve cover off, are you saying that if you crank the engine, the crankshaft turns but the cams don't move? Is there a lot of slack in the belt or chain or whatever you've got? No....everything looks good and tight. Something else broke. Remember we are dealing with a Sentra Classic, the boxy model made in Mexico. It basically was a parts bin car, using stuff from the '89 Sentra.

Can you clarify what is turning and what is not? |
