**BREAKING NEWS**********BREAKING NEWS*****

CRAP!!!!!! THE SUMMER OF GEORGE IS ALMOST OVER!!!!
Well it took 5 days and countless trips to Autoparts stores! But i finally got the Nissan Truck Running! Sounded like crap at first! Glad I read about the lifters having air in them for up to 30 minutes! Other wise I would have Freaked at how LOUD the lifters were!

I replaced the following parts:
Timing Chain
Timing Gears
Timing Tensioners
Timing Cover
Upper/Lower Radiator Hose
Misc Small Hoses!
Plugs
PVC valve
Belts
Gaskets-Oil Pan-Valve Cover-Oil Pump-and so many more....

Now I need:
Upper Ball Joints
Fuel Injectors

Timing Cover Removed


Here is a picture of the engine with the timing cover removed. And a new timing chain, gears and tensioners installed. What a mess!
Next time I will degrease engine first!
