Around how much with labor?

95 Altima with 81K on odo. Thanks

Salamat.

depende sa pagdridrive mo but I think kung chain yan it should last you for about 100k miles.

Just to give you an idea:

Timing Chain Tensioner - Upper

13070-00004

Altima
1993-1997

$56.69

Timing Chain Tensioner - Lower

13070-00003

Altima
1993-1997

$56.69

And I hope the cost of labor isnt as much as replacing the chain itself

kung nasa amerika ka mahal pa ang labor kaysa sa parts.. pero kung sa pinas bigyan mo na lang ng kalahating case na beer o gin ok na yun

Karding: SALAMAT!!!

Migs: Ah, ok, di pa naman actually, mga half a sec may light noise sya during morning start, after that wala naman at all, only in the morning does that light half second clatter is audible.

Hindi ba dapat sabay ang replacement ng chain and tensioner?
How you know that the noise is coming from tensioner and not on chain itself?
Ano ba tunog ng chain/tensioner? How do you distinguish is from the engine noise?

theveed, no problem... about the slight noise, i don't think it should be a big problem. if it gets worse tho that's when you should start to worry.

field master, the engine itself shouldn't make that much noise. if it does then that's probably the shims shouting to be replaced. engine noise will typically be heard right on top of the valve cover... timing chain noise will be only on one side. not that hard to distinguish if you ask me... just notice where exactly the noise is comming from.

theveed, yung tunog non sana its not the chain hitting the chain guide. If you let the problem persist, baka magaya ka sa 240SX ko na kailangan na ng engine swap. AFAIK, sakit ng Nissan 240SX ang chain hitting the chain guide. Baka lang kasama sa Sentra ang mga sakit na ganyan.
