- Subject: 91 Nissan Sentra: timing belt or chain?
- Lines: 18
-
- Does someone in the know out there know if the 1991 Nissan Sentra
- with the 1.6L engine has a timing belt or a timing chain? I
- looked thru the owners manual under the suggested service intervals,
- and there is nary a mention of timing belt service at 60k or
- greater intervals.
-
- So either they used a chain when they redesigned the engine, or they
- have a lot of faith in the belt. I looked over the engine bay and
- nowhere does there seem to be a cover or whatever service hatch to
- get access to a belt.
-
- Any info is greatly appreciated.
-
- All the dealer would say is bring it in at the required service intervals!
- Figures he'd say that.... thanks again!
-
- Jeff.
