The Belt of timing should be watched much like you
would watch a four year child. Kids get into things, and
if you don"t watch your Belt for timing ,you could be getting
into your engine. for the non wrench turning peeps
THE SHOP WILL BE TAKING A CHUNK OUT OF YOUR
POCKET!!!!! I say this because I failed to watch my 93
timing belt and now I"m punished from driving till i put my
extra Motor in . my org. motor ran like a top,and then the timing belt broke and now don't run at all.

#11 of 13 Timing Belt or Chain? by edbb

My neighbor has a 2002 Pathfinder and is concerned that there is no mention of a service interval for a timing belt. He and I assume that it has a timing chain with no service interval.
Right or wrong?

First get her close to TDC, the goal is to get the punch marks on the sprockets in a position that makes it easy to count the teeth in the belt. It's hard to see the punch marks, wipe down the sprockets real good and you'll see em. From right cam punch mark to left cam punch mark, there are 40 teeth between them. From left cam punch mark to crank punch mark, there are 43 teeth between them. (right and left as if you were sitting in the vehicle). It helps to have a buddy when you actually seat the belt. Quadruple count the teeth to be positive. Also, the bearings tend to go bad on the tensioner, easy replacement. You may just wanna buy a kit, the Gates kit has all the teeth mark information, as well as a new tensioner. Hope that helps, you'll feel like a million bucks when you get her singin again!
