- In this episode I'm tackling timing chain replacement on Nissan Sentra 2.0. This was a nightmare. Lack of knowledge, time and tools really kicked my ass this time. With help from my friends and the I pulled through and finished this shit production. This episode was filmed over a month. Feel free to tag along and watch me struggle.
Big THANK YOU goes to Jordan M. and Maciek W. for letting me use their tools and helped me with their resources and knowledge.
I have coolant in my oil. After roughly 5 mins my PSI on my coolant pressure tester goes from 15 to 10 PSI. I am so devastated. I hate working on vehicles. This is my fate. This video. Is my fate. You are my Sheperd. You are my blessing and my curse. 120k Nissan sentra. I HATE YOU AND LOVE YOU. WHY DID THE UNIVERSE DO THIS TO ME?
I’m very confused… but love You too buddy…
Loved this video esp the generous use of 4 letter words! I'm 70 and after re-building my VW 50 years ago, I swore I'd never do my own engine repairs again...requires talent and patience and don't worry, AI will never replace car mechanics...ICE anyway
Thank you! You have no idea how much I appreciate the kind words. Have had some things come up but I’ll hopefully be back recording!! May I ask what VW did you have?
@@barnhouseinc Hi, I had a '63 Bug 1200cc. It had a broken crankshaft and I used "How to Keep Your VW Alive...For the Compleat Idiot". Keep up the good work!
That was amazing. Mad talent.
THANK YOU!!
Odd.. was going thru this same task of same 💩 and, upon resetting up today to continue removing the ABSURD number of IMPOSSIBLE to reach (fat hands) timing cover bolts, of WAY TO MANY SIZES, i finally decided to check and see via YT if there were gunna be any ‘other’ surprises I’d be faced with.. I watch this vid & well, the odd thing about it is the “French” was near identical &, blood donor situation!! I have a general distain for all transverse mounted engine arrangements for their extreme lack of engineered space, for ANY damned repairs but NISSAN tops the list of STUPID! Thx for yr months-worth of fine editing videography!
Hope it all worked out for you bud! Thank you for the kind words ✌️😁
This was amazing! I feel like I could do it watching you but I think I'll leave to u and the pros. I'd def be there to lend a hand tho.
Thank You Wildman! I might give it a try now
If you take your time it's pretty simple! Good luck brotha!
My engine started knocking its a 2.0 sentra hopefully im following ur steps so i can do my as i write this
You've inspired me to try this myself. Wish me luck!!
You got this! Just take your time. The hardest part was putting the timing cover on. I recommend asking someone for help! Good luck!
What code were you getting, that you went from the vvt solenoid, to the timing chain?
Look at my short videos… there is a video if an engine noise… i checked vvt solenoid because i hoped that it was clogged up and maybe valves/camshafts weren’t getting oil. After seeing that everything was ok with solenoid and valves… i knew there was something with timing.
Did that motor jump time? I have one that cranks like it has no compassion. I’m just trying to figure if it doesn’t hurt the valves
Chain guide broke due to oil starvation. No code and no problems besides horrendous rattling noise. Do you have any codes?
@@barnhouseinc it’s a car I’m buying, it turns over like there’s no compression. I haven’t tried to see the codes. Every car I ever had that cranked that way had a jumped timing belt or chain. I fairly positive that’s it. I just wanted to see if they jump time on that 2.0 motor if it’s possible it didn’t do internal damage
Dude I’m changing my cylinder head by myself with minimal knowledge, by far the biggest thing that’s kicked my ass is the lack of tools + knowledge. I’m still confident I can do it, but this is way more complicated than I originally thought. It’s an aftermarket engine but I’m confident I can do it, I already got it stripped down and ab to take my serpentine belt. Any tips would be appreciated brotha
Get the torque specs for everything. Invest in tools. Make sure you got new bolts if old ones cant be reused. MARK EVERYTHING SO YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES BACK. Take your time. Take photos and videos. If you do all that you should succeed. Have faith in you brotha.
De nuevo miro esta clase es excelente, presente cordial saludo desde Navojoa Sonora México Like 🎉🎉
Really enjoyed this video racked me up 😅😅😅
Thank you! This comment means a lot to me man! Feel free to “smash that subscribe button” 😂 There will be more videos coming! Hope You’ll enjoy! ✌️✌️✌️
What were the torq specs for the timing cover ?
Im sorry, but I sold the car and all my specs and manuals went with it. You’ll have to search online.
Was this car having the symptom of shaking bad until 2400+ RPM?
I looked up the symptoms because I've already replaced plugs, coils, belt tensioner, belt, intake gaskets
And cleaned the injectors the help fix this but I've had no luck so far. My car is still shaking and throwing a code for multiple cylinder misfire. It's starting to tear up the motor mount that's how bad it's getting
The symptom on this car was a crazy rattle… it didn’t misfire or throw codes… i uploaded one Short video with the rattle before i started taking it apart. Maybe you’ve got a vacuum leak? Or bad MAF Sensor…or even something bad with fuel delivery…
@@barnhouseinc I've checked fuel trims, MAF etc. Vacuum is all good. I tried checking timing (it's supposed to be 6° (+/- 5°) at idle and mine is at -°4 idle and I checked power balance and when I disable cylinder 4 my car barely shudders. It makes a difference but hardly at all. I'm thinking about checking compression next. It would realistically only be coils, plugs and injectors that would keep that cylinder from firing properly imo.
I'm gonna check knock sensor next, after that compression then 🤷🤷🤷 we'll see from there
@@jacobwebb8818what was the problem?
@@NeutronX101 low compression cylinder 4. I've tried re-setting the rings with berrymans and seafoam deep creep and it honestly made it better for 1 day before becoming worse. I still daily drive it 😂

Whats the torque specs? One of my bolts came loose and i cant find the torque anywhere. Its the M8 bolt #16 and 17 for engine MR20DE
Idk. Cant find the specs. I might have thrown out everything.
@@barnhouseinccorrection apparently there is a bolt hole thats empty @ 20:00 on left side. So nothing came loose. My inner tie rod was leaking and covered everything with oil.
What size o-ring did you use
I don’t remember. It was OEM and cant remember the size.
My car is poping on the passenger side when I accelerate is the timing chain the reason?
I don’t think so. Maybe a bad engine mount?
Yo I’m from around Chicago too I have everything apart but are all sprockets supposed to be in line with tdc every cycle or every few cycles and can I move the cams up top individually or do I have to get exhaust valves opening on cylinder 1 bdc then move the cams separately?
Sorry for not responding but i was on vacation. Got it sorted out?
Compression on cylinder 1 was 35 psi 😐
You could of changed the head gasket for more content 😂
It was my sister's car. I was trying to make it "road worthy" and sold it last week. I have a lot of stuff that I can do videos on, but the time is not on my side. I hope this summer I'll pump-out a couple of videos. Feel free to subscribe. I will definitely be back with some car-related videos. Thanks for the comment!
Did you use RTV to seal the timing cover? I have a 2010 that is leaking oil like a bastard.. I have it most of the way apart to change the seals.. The dipstick tube was leaking too.
I used the shit that came with timing kit. It was special RTV for aluminum. would recommend it because it would suck if you had to redo this nightmare…hope it will all work out!
My buddies told me to check out your channel. Guess were twins when it comes to this shit
Haha I hope you are enjoying the videos. I will be making more once I’ll have more time. I also hope your friend enjoys the videos too!
What was that broken plastic piece?
That was part of the chain guide. It slides on the timing cover on the top. It presses down between the camshafts.
@@barnhouseinc amazing how it broke off like that. Probably from overheating maybe.
@@NeutronX101 My sister ran the car with really low oil. She never checked it. Thank God that only timing gave out and the engine is fine. 😅
I changed the chain and now it makes a hissing noise, do you know why that is?
I would have to hear it. Maybe a bad bearing on the accessory belt?
You probably have a vaccum leak at the intake manifold
@@barnhouseinc remove the accessory strap and the noise persists.
@@franciscosantiagohernandez6548 maybe upload a video so we can hear it. Any codes?
How did you set your timing with that broken piece not in place ?.
That piece was part of the timing cover. I set the timing, and when I installed the timing cover, that piece puts tension on the chain.
Jprd to chyba jeden z najlepszych filmow na YT jaki ostatnio widzialem 😝 pozdrowienia 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks man, I've been all over this model doing stupid ass jobs. I'm sick of it, so after seeing your video I realized "fuck this stupid car" terrible to work on
This car has a special place in my heart … tried getting rid of it for a year 😂 i bunch of things fail whenever i posted the POS for sale.
Did I make noise like a lifter was bad before you did the chain ?
Yes. I mean it was more of a rattle. Check in my “Shorts”. I recorded the sound before the teardown.
Where are you located? My 07 Nissan Sentra 2.0 needs to be replaced.
Chicago
Your parents must be proud of the language you use
I’ve done more disappointing thing in my life my brother…
while you were in there, I would have checked the lifter clearance and shimmed as necessary
This thing has only 80k. My sister ran the thing with low oil. Maybe I’ll do it if the motor doesn’t grenade 😂
@@barnhouseinc did you find the piece broken off the timing cover? If so should be good to go
Did you have to drop the oil pan or drain it to take the timing cover off ?
I originally didn’t…. Had a lot of clean up to do. I highly recommend to drain the oil…
@@barnhouseinc one more question, how much okay was in the timing chain once you the guides and tensioner on
@@4B2C It's hard to tell how much. Not a lot. Just a little on the top for the tensioner on the timing cover.
Honestly altogether how long would you say this took you? You look like you did this super fast!
It took me about a month 😅… recording and getting part… plus all mu fuck ups…i think if you concentrate and have the parts ready you should be able to do it in about a day with some help (installing the timing cover was a bitch)…
Hi, I have to get this same procedure done to my 07 Nissan Sentra 2.0. I will be doing it myself because I am trying to save money. Is is possible that I can contact you and maybe we can video chat and as I'm working on it you can help me? I really need to get this done. TIA
Im sorry but i simply don’t have the time. I would advise you to not try it if you are not confident enough. I have SOME engine experience and this was a challenge for me (I work on cars as a hobby) you will need a 1/4 torque wrench, puller for crank pulley… if you don’t have those things i wouldn’t start. If you do… just so you know this took me 20hr to complete over a month…
@@barnhouseinc thanks alot! 😢
Jajaja 🤣 good job
Did my best 😅
2 pry bars would’ve gotten the balancer off easy in seconds
Tried. Tried different types of pry bars. I’m pretty sure I would have gotten it with some time but i try to make my life easier 😅
Parts list .?
Just got timing chain kit and valve cover gasket at o'reillys.
That timing mark on the intake had me for a bit as well

Not worth putting up with the stupid language.
