Compatibility Overview

The Jakoparts J1191014 Timing Chain Kit is engineered for the following Nissan models:

• Nissan Primera Serena (1990‑1996) – 1.6L, 16V engine
• Nissan Vanette (1990‑1996) – 1.6L, 16V engine

It is also compatible with aftermarket and European variants that share the same engine architecture, such as the Simplex distribution chain systems used in certain markets.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the battery and remove any components obstructing access to the timing cover. Drain coolant if necessary to avoid spills during removal.
2. Remove Old Chain Assembly: Carefully release the tensioner, unwind the old chain, and detach guides and bushings. Keep track of component orientation for reassembly.
3. Install New Tensioner: Mount the hydraulic tensioner onto the crankshaft pulley, ensuring proper alignment with the camshaft gear. Secure it using the supplied bolts.
4. Thread the Timing Chain: Feed the new chain through the camshaft and crankshaft gears, following the manufacturer’s diagram to maintain correct tooth engagement.
5. Install Guides and Bushings: Place the new guides in their designated slots and secure them with the provided hardware. Replace bushings as required.
6. Check Alignment: Rotate the engine by hand to verify that all timing marks align correctly. Adjust tensioner if necessary.
7. Reassemble Components: Reinstall any removed parts, refill coolant, and reconnect the battery.
