Any insight would be greatly appreciated
Your right timing chain is good to go. Only thing that could be an issue is the tensioner and guides. Hopefully in z they aren't made out of plastic like on 6th gen maxima. Most people rattled like crazy around 100k. Sounds eventually disappeared when engine was warm. Nissans quoted me About 1200 job because they also wanna do water pump and accessories while in there . Independent mechanic wanted 800 without fooling with water pump .
