Thanks for your help guys. It turns out it was out a tooth. Here is some tips for new players below! My symptoms were: Once engine was warm start ups would rattle for 2-5 seconds then go away. Turned out to be the duplex timing chain and tensioner. (169k on the clock). Quiet as a mouse now...

It sounds like a really old diesel rattling now. only ran it for 30 seconds max! Is it ok to have turned the primary chain backwards to get chain on? all timing marks lines up but there is no factory mark on the crank pulley?

myoldhk, I only did the duplex as the piston was pushed way out and the measurements were 17thou instead of 15thou. Its like its not getting oil to the tensioner?

Yeah it had a pin in it. We also primed the tensioner with oil as well. Only changed the cam one to try an isolate the problem first before spending more $$. Parts weren't available for the rest of the kit at the time.

I have replaced the cam chain and tensioner on d40 navara 2009 yd25 Taiwan engine and it has a shocking rattle that appears to be coming from the new chain area, is there an issues if the crank is turned backwards during the process that could effect the primary chain (pump chain)?

Nice write up mate! I have just done the timing duplex chain and tensioner on mine (genuine Nissan) and when I put it back together and started it up it is 10X noisier and rattly? Any ideas what could have happened? We are stummped to what it could be...

Id replace the Vacume control valve too, (suction Control valve etc) Regulating Valve Kit is what nissans box has on it. Thai 2010 25mm unit is #A6860-EC09A http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSzg1NwOYF0n15Xv_PtIBHsKu5Ex7-vR-0BdrWu-snQBFeI8l5C Car would stall at lights after warming up and...

You are correct Doc. I rang nissan as I have been chasing a fault in mine for weeks and weeks and the only thing I hadn't changed was the Pressure Sensor and the Vacuum control Valve! Car would stall at lights after warming up and revs dropped below 1000rpm. restart then conk again. Could still...

Just staryed having the same problem. Would go around a corner and brake and the engine would stall. mainly only happened at low revs. Familiar to a petrol engine with a vacuum leak problem. I bought some repco contact cleaner $9 sprayed the MAFS and so far so good. I have 140k on clock and poor...

Will be looking at doing it within the next couple days. Also bought the parts to make an exhaust for the bus too.

Nice work mate. So easy hey

Thanks for the pics. I will mount a smaller one in which will be activated by the aircon switch (I use the aircon daily so may have a override switch as well) And also a larger one that is triggered by a temp sensor. I have been monitoring and recording coolant temps with the scan gauge for a...
