Are you sure all VG's have timing BELTS?
 
I need an answer fast. I remember reading a post that said some VG's have timing chains. A friend just got a 89 SE, and the onwer said it has a timing chain, but i'm not too sure if he was right.

However, some of the LATE LATE production model 94 VG Maximas do have a chain, because of Ford's demands upon Nissan when first building the Quest/Villager minivans. I don't recall the production date.....seems like it was 8/93 or 9/93.....Thank God mine was made in March. :D

Chris didn't search. :smash:

brubenstein gets the credit for reminding me that some late 94 Maximas had a "longer-life" belt or chain, and the VG went to a non-interference engine, and thereby ruining it to some degree:

Hey man, chill dude!!

The one who posted in the 3rd gen forum was my brother ArcticMax, using my computer. This is the real Hokiemax here. I appreciate, and I really DO appreciate y'all responding within minutes. I love that! But see, some of late model 94's do have timing chains. Now its time to break the heartbreaking news to my friend. I told him there is a 1% chance that his car might have a chain.

How is an interference engine better from a non- interference engine?

Is all I saw when my tensioner went out on my Interference engine was money out the ying yang to get it fixed. So how is it better.
