The Timing Chain drives the Camshaft.
Also see: Timing Cover
Contents |
Overview
We have seen a couple of single link timing chains on A12, which is the original A10 single row chain. Insist on the factory specified double-chain, like Nissan did for later A10s.
NOT GOOD
- A rattle can be the trait of a stretched timing chain. Pinging/pinking has also often been mistaken for timing chain rattle
A-series engine has a short timing chain -- and with an automatic adjuster -- it rarely stretches or goes bad.
Compare to the loooooong chaing used in the Nissan KA24E engine:
click
- KA24 often has timing chain problems
Replacement
Alignment
Check the cam gear alignment. It should be exactly like this:
If it is not, see Camshaft#Timing.

Adjustable Cam Gear
Fitting an adjustable Camshaft gear lets you fine tune the timing. The cam vendor's recommendations are usually best, but retarding the cam a degree or two will generall shift the torque curve higher up in the RPM range. Advancing the cam will (usually) lower the power curve a few RPM.
Adjustable gears come in a few basic kinds:
- Multi-key. Rollmaster had one with nine adjustible keys in the crank sprocket
- Multi-hole. Using different holes
- Variable: Slotted holes allow a continuously variable range
