J Replace OE Replacement Timing Chain for Nissan SR20DET

Every SR20DET rebuild or timing refresh should include a new chain, and the J Replace OE replacement SR20DET timing chain makes that easy to do without relying on diminishing OEM supply. It is a quality replacement timing component made for the SR20DET, and it is the sort of part that is well worth replacing while the front cover is already off rather than reusing a chain with decades of stretch.

Why Replace the Chain

• A stretched chain retards cam timing and costs power and response
• Worn chains rattle on cold start and accelerate guide and tensioner wear
• Replacing it during a rebuild avoids pulling the front cover a second time

Fitment

Nissan SR20DET engines, as found in the S13, S14 and S15 Silvia and 180SX and swapped into the USDM 240SX.

Do the Whole Job

A new chain performs best when the rest of the timing system is fresh too. J Replace also offers the SR20DET timing chain tensioner and gasket, the slack side timing chain guide and the revised long timing chain guide, so you can refresh the entire chain drive together instead of mixing new and worn components.

Install Notes

Set the engine to TDC on cylinder one, mark the cam and crank sprocket positions, and check cam timing carefully after fitting the new chain. Replace the front cover seals and gaskets while you are in there.

With limited availability and frequently increasing prices on new OEM parts, J Replace offers a quality alternative at a steady price.
