Nissan Xterra Timing Belt

The Nissan Xterra Timing Belt properly synchronizes the crankshaft and camshaft so the engine valves open and close at the precise time with piston movement. The Timing Belt is a flexible loop of fiber reinforced material and is designed to mesh with the toothed sprockets on both shafts. A dedicated tensioner plus idler pulleys keep the Timing Belt tight. This helps conserve exact alignment. The Timing Belt has a quieter operation, does not require lubrication and allows easier routing in overhead cam applications, as applied in the Nissan Xterra engine, due to replacing heavier chains and gears. A failed or damaged Timing Belt can halt the engine instantly. On interference designs, internal parts may collide, causing severe damage. A weak tensioner or wear that does not break can cause a belt to jump time and create hard starting or poor performance. It is recommended that the condition of the Nissan Xterra should be checked regularly for cracks, missing teeth, fraying or fluid contamination. Moreover, follow the manufacturer's change interval for the Nissan Xterra with fresh tensioner and idler parts at each service to keep the Nissan Xterra running reliably.

Nissan Xterra Timing Belt Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: How to replace the timing belt on Nissan Xterra?
    A:
    The timing system is complex and mistakes can cause severe engine damage. Only attempt this procedure if you are highly experienced or consult an expert. Disconnect the battery cable. Raise and secure the front of the vehicle. Remove the engine under cover and drain the cooling system. Take off the engine cooling fan, fan shroud, and radiator. Loosen the water pump pulley nuts and remove the drivebelts. Remove the air conditioning compressor idler pulley and bracket, as well as any remaining idler pulleys and brackets. Detach the breather hoses and pipe from the valve covers and front of the engine. Disconnect the upper and lower radiator hoses. Disconnect hoses and wiring harness at the top of the upper timing belt cover. Remove the spark plugs and position the number one piston at TDC on the compression stroke. Remove the crankshaft pulley. Remove the outer timing belt guide from the crankshaft and the bolts securing the timing belt upper and lower covers. Confirm that the number one piston is still at TDC by aligning the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets. Relieve tension on the timing belt by loosening the retaining nut and rotating the tensioner. Check if the timing belt is marked and slide it off the sprockets. Inspect the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets for wear or damage. Lock the camshaft sprocket in place and remove the mounting bolt. Remove the sprocket by hand. Replace the crankshaft sprocket if necessary. Before starting the engine, rotate the crankshaft by hand to check for any resistance. Verify that you have the correct timing belt for your vehicle. Install the timing belt while aligning the marks on the belt with the punch marks on the sprockets. Remove slack from the tensioner side of the belt and retighten the nut. Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full revolutions to return the number one piston to TDC. Measure the belt deflection midway between the camshaft sprockets. Adjust the belt tension if necessary. Place a feeler gauge between the tensioner pulley and the belt and slowly turn the crankshaft until the gauge is in place. Tighten the tensioner locking nut while keeping the tensioner steady. Turn the crankshaft for two revolutions and recheck the belt tension. Install the components that were removed during disassembly.
