timing question

[Duosx]

well i took off my head for new hg and i was wondering can the timing chain actually jump teeth off the crank sprocket down below and fuck up timing or is there not enough room down below in the front case area for the chain to jump ?? i was wondering this cause ive moved the chain around quite a bit(picking it up from down below and setting it back down) while doing this hg install i have redtop sr

ok thank you very much sileighty 85 :), one more thing when taking off the front cover do u have to take off upper oil pan first? cause im trying to take the front cover off and i have all bolts out and its not coming off unless theres another easy way of prying it off ...

Yeah you gotta remove both of the bottom oil pans the crank makes it hard to get off if you just do the bottom one and you might tear the seal up takin it off or puttin it on. but take the black bottom one first cuz the upper one haz two bolts that hold the oil pump to the oil pan and ya gotta remove the oil strainer too

WOW unfucking believeable! i tried to take the front cover off without taking the upper oil pan out and its impossible the oil strainer hits the upper pan with like 3 millimeters of itself . i cant believe nissan would engineer such bullshit now because of those 3 millimeters of the oil strainer that wont clear im going to have to pull the motor! what fucking idiot thought up this. i cant push the front cover up either cause of crank. i could try and take the upper pan out with motor still in but that would be a pain. someone please tell me theres something im missing cause i really dont want to pull the motor. (i have a feeling theres not :( )

ok im the idiot, on the end of the crank there's a cresent that holds in a cylinder piece that holds the crank front into the front case. once the cresent is lighty taped out the cyinder piece can be pried out easily from inside and the the fornt case slides out with ease. thanks to my brother for pointing this out. i feel stupid :/ but i learned somethin new hope this can help others in the future. and thank u sileighty
