So many rude comments on this channel.the man is showing you .a lot more than most .having worked in a garage14 years lots of things get broken that's how you learn and grow.des is very good at what he does .he knows more than main dealers .as he has striped them down like they would never do just servicing them a couple of years and then going to independent garages for the real repairs .and des has made his mark on what he can do for nissan repairs .and selling timing chains around the world .he is a switched on mechanic.
Well noticed thank fully I was able to lift it out of the way whilst Nathan cracked the bolt and that was all we did with the gun just cracked it rest removed by hand thank you for your input as you are correct
Very poor mechanical skills there, punching on the pulley can brake pieces of it as well as damage the rubber since its as vibration dampener, brutal job, measuring the diameter of the piston correlates with chain stretch ?!
Great channel, love your work good to see you do a timing chain up grade with the engine still in the car, l own a 07 pathfinder and gained heaps of information about the Nissan engine watching your videos, keep up the great work your doing, cheers Les.
This was a cracking job given the time allowed. If a customer needs a quick turnaround then this is the sort of thing that has to be done, no time to lift out the engine as Des would have preferred.
Haha nice stuff guys, I hope the customer now knows the job is worth 10hrs for two mechanics and doesn't have a complain that you said 5, good luck and keep the videos coming 👍
Nice video and great job! Can you tell me if a Nissan patrol y61 (04 model 3.0) oil pump can be accessed by this same method or does gearbox have to be moved back and lower sump have to come down in order to get at it!?
HI guys.. you have been very informative and enjoy your Video Clips. I am curious if you are aware if a NP300 rear locker diff can be installed into my 2014 D40 Navara
Des we done this 4 times and found out that removing the front completly makes the job a lot easyer. Consideting you can loose the timing on the counterbalance shaft....
MY 2004 nissan navara d22 str 3.0l Diesel dual cab manual seems to have blown no.1 piston. I get conflicting info from different mechanics about it's a head, dud valves, cracked piston, broken oil rings .... how do you know and what does it take to repair. thanks, mark
3 foot 3/4 inch bar and socket. Put it on the head of the bolt and rest the handle of the bar on the ground. Turn the key and let the starter do the work.
Honestly, if you already took everything out, it doesn't take more than a hour to replace the timing chain if you have someone helping you clean the old gasket from the Covers.
Could you inspect the lower chain with feelger gauges just by taking off the upper cover? I just bought myself a Navara and I'm anxious about the timing chain
Normally you can see from the top tensioner how far the piston travels Because it’s double chain at the top and single chain at the bottom The bottom chain piston will be out double the top
Hi, how do I know if the timing chain has been replaced already? I am in North Cyprus and all the cars/vans/trucks here have little or no documents. I am pretty certain many of them are Cat C/D and are easier to repair and import here as no-one can then check the history. Anyway, is there a way to tell if the chain has been replaced on a Navara?
dave hart you would have to remove the top timing cover to see if it was a duplex chain then you would know We can tell if the timing has been disturbed but that’s when we have the motor with us
Hey guys, leave the rad in, use an oxy torch and heat up the crank bolt at 3 o'clock till red then you'll undo it with any 1/2 rattle gun, same goes with the egr cooler nuts, cheers!
I passed your details on to a guy over here in ozz. He’s the one that has that Navara with that factory fitted v6 Peugeot. From what he’s been telling me it’s not looking good for the owner of the vehicle. There not that common over here.
So you can change the lower timing chain, without taking the sump and the front diff out of the car? And your a bit slow, I just got my eleventh grandchild a few weeks ago. I changed the upper timing chain a few months ago and after watching your videos, I thought the bottom seemed ok so I left it, but now a mechanic heard my car driving past and said my timing chains were making noises and needed to be done. I like you no mucking about work. I used a pipe with two bolts welded to it to lock the harmonic balancer from turning and then a good socket and a five foot lump of pipe to loosen the crank bolt, what an effort, I wish I had one of those rattle guns.
I don't think he would have been smiling much if he had damaged the air con radiator with that impact wrench it would have been easier to put the vehicle in gear and chock the wheels and then used a 3/4 drive bar and socket on the nut to remove it but he showed it could be done so well done, I wouldn't be to happy with my engine sounding like that one on start up but it is a Nissan I suppose.
You definitely know your trade. When I come to do mine soon, would it be easier to remove the aircon radiator? Which is a good brand of complete timing chain kit please? Great channel by the way.
Measuring the diameter of the tensioner piston correlates with chain stretch, the diameter wtf ?! The pulley has two M6 threaded holes in it for extraction tool you can make a DIY even, just careless job
Stop half way, have a couple of pints and then get back on the job. Ya should be able to stretch it out to 5hrs, if not have couple more pints before clocking out.
Haters gonna hate there was no real damage to the condenser as for the rattle what’s your alternative? Just did my first one on the weekend in car left the radiator in just pulled the fans, 6:33 for a first go on the gravel drive way at home I thinks pretty good Actually it was 7:45 including road test and wash.
hohepa cremzski Hi buddy the customer wanted us to do the timing chain first and the second part of the work was the injectors so thanks for noticing that All the very best Des
michael robinson sorry buddy just Nissan but diesels are probably the same so if you have a problem you should get some sort of idea how to fix it on this channel
Jamie Macmaster i have a 08 pathfinder 5.6 v8 bought it with 186000 mile looked like it had radiator replaced and the hood has a lot of clear coat damage. But nothing wrong now hope worst is over.what your opinion on these
Harold Smith I only work on the uk spec nissans with tiny engines like on this video and I'm not one of these guys that bullshxts you saying they know it all I know nothing about any of the nissan v8 engines never even seen one. Its all about experience with what you pick up and learn the known faults so sorry can't help you
Muahahaha That AC condenser at 1:30 was not working along. And that face expression and lip biting at 10:42 when you know that all work has been done wrong and there is bad timing chain sound. "In this episode we kick ass and get a full Timing Chain upgrade in just 5 hours from start to finish." So true. Fast and brutal "upgrade".
Haha should have told you that the customer needed the injectors changing too as well as the chains he wanted the chain doing first then when he could afford the injectors he moved on to having them done I should have explained this in the video anyway thanks for noticing 👍
Des, I think you know something's not right in there. That sounds terrible. You went from being Mr chatty to thinking "What the fuck is that rattle" when you heard it starting up. And the look on your face gave it away.
Kick ass? Half-arse more like it. That was an example of a very unprofessional attempt to remove the crank pulley. I just couldn't keep watching, dreading what else might be done.

Cheers mate thanks for that Des
@@westyorkshireengineservice9160 your most welcome😊
And for good reason, I haven’t seen that bad adjustment yet.
How much damage did you do to the air con rad trying to squeeze that impact gun in?
Well noticed thank fully I was able to lift it out of the way whilst Nathan cracked the bolt and that was all we did with the gun just cracked it rest removed by hand thank you for your input as you are correct
Steve Barber it's great entertainment watching this channel.
Rough as guts

@@viktoriyastaneva4441 I think he meant the length of piston showing?
that engine sounds like a bag of spanners
just watched this channel...think its superb, honest and straight too the point. can not fault them yorkie lads...keep up the good work lads...

Congrats on the new addition
Nice to see a positive Nissan video👍
We do love them its just want to help others out saving money in repairs

New condenser then? 😂 had the same predicament many times. Keep up the good content
HI guys.. you have been very informative and enjoy your Video Clips. I am curious if you are aware if a NP300 rear locker diff can be installed into my 2014 D40 Navara
something wrong......didnt stop de rattles of death !!!!!
Thanks for this 👍. Now I've got to decide if I do it myself or just take it to a garage!
Nice Job Mate!

would you recomend a snorkel on 07 d40 and what oil would you suggest for a yd25 with 300000km
Hi, looking to do this on mine, how did you lock the cams to replace the cam sprockets? Or was this not done?
Nice work
Great job!
good work
good evening. do the navara zd30 and the urvan non turbo engines time the same way?
after how many kilometers do you recommend replacing the chain?
To get T.D.C. do you remove glow plugs then rotate crank at belt pulley correct? .
Wow....
Good job
glad you ain't working on my car
Why?
Pair of clowns
I really love this man
Michael Secku Thanks buddy
Hi
Do You know maybe how fix error p1705 ? Its : throttle position sensor/ circuit automatic position nissan pathfinder
3 foot 3/4 inch bar and socket. Put it on the head of the bolt and rest the handle of the bar on the ground. Turn the key and let the starter do the work.

Admire your work guys.
Have a 07 Pathfinder...how much should cost the timing change replacement,parts and labour ?
Thanks
That all depends on the job at hand that is due to no job ever being the same.
09 Pathfinder here with same question
RIGHT GUYS

Because it’s double chain at the top and single chain at the bottom
The bottom chain piston will be out double the top
@@westyorkshireengineservice9160 okay, and how much mm out is too much?
MrGhostrider19 10 means too much if that helps
@@westyorkshireengineservice9160 okay, thank you 👍
Where can we get the duplex timing chain upgrade kit?
Nice bro..hai im from malaysia
How much dose conversion cost plus fitting 👍
U guys earn ya money...hard graft
Nice job guys! Out of interest would this be the same job on my YD22 primera? 😎
Not really cos the engine is in sideways
Yes but is it a similar procedure to do the chains but obviously an engine out jobby as the chassis leg would be in the way?
Have a look at that.
No

Quick question how much for a timing chain upgrad 2012 upwards don't know if you get prices in comments if not no stress I will ring you no stress
Hi sir...
Greetings from Indonesia
Hiya.. Bit off subject but do you know much about the Nissan Elgrand 3.5 v6 petrol engine ?
Let me guess blows smoke?

@@westyorkshireengineservice9160 fuel injectors don't make the engine rattle, that sounds like the cam and lifters not getting enough oil

There are names for people who get their tools stuck ;)

Sounds bottom endy
Dosent sound right that at end off the job
2:10 wtf?
Stubby impact guns work for this.
Thank you for no music!
Hello lads Tony here do ye do Mercedes timing chain ? If so how much ?
Buy a air con rad ready lol😂
And by the way that was a pretty bad filthy car inside. We thought that our pathfinder was filthy but that you habe there is way more than we saw
Bin the snap off gun there shit
Is that 4.0 or 5.6
Harold Smith its called a YD25 and the size is only 2.5L 4 cylinder
