I need to change the Timing Chain in my 190e, what is the easiest way to do this. I just had a valve-job done the engine runs great but the timing chain makes the engine sound like a diesel the first minute or so starting it in the morning or at least until the oil pressure builds and engages the hydralic chain tensioner.

SOURCE: timing chain

If it has not broken or jumped timing you simply remove the valve cover and timing chain tennsioner. Then cut a link out of the old chain on top of the cam gear, then you attach the new chain with the supplied master link and slowly rotate the engine until the old chain has run out and the new chain is in it's place. It's best to have a helper to rotate so you can hold the chain against the cam gear. Once this is done recheck the can timing and do not let the chain slip or you will have to pull the injection pump and retime it. Even if you do it's easier than removing the front cover! Good luck!

Get compression test. Make sure all valves are seating. Check injectors for fuel flow. If all elce fails. Move to a warm state. (Just kidding..!)

SOURCE: oil leak

Hi,  The cover is an access cover for a measure oil pressure. It is safe to take off the cover is the engine is off. There might be a little oil flow out, but that is normal. Mercedes has an updated seal and cover for that problem.

SOURCE: timing belt or timing chain?

You 98 Corolla has a timing chain that it internal and need no normal maintenance. It uses a hydraulic/spring tensioner to keep things tight and as long as its quiet, everything is fine.
Your drive belt (not to be confused with a t. belt) is the external belt you see on the passenger side of the engine. It drives you alt, water pump, A/C and power steering. It uses a spring loaded tensioner to keep the belt tight. These can weaken over time and cause a rattle noise and belt slippage.

Is there a way to check the timing chain without removing the cover ( this is quite a job) for a look at the timing marks
no way of doing so. need to remove cover. i have been doing this since 1996 and have never seen chain driven nissan jump timing. have seen some timing belt cars jump, but never chain driven engines. i think you have something else going on. i have done many and many timing chain jobs on frontiers and maximas, but not for a timing chain jumping issue. upper timing chain shoes wear out and engine gets noisy. i have to say i have seen some with the primary chain stretched a bit, but car still ran fine.

Can you tell me when I should change the timing chain on my 1995 Olds 98 Regency Elite? It has the 3.8 L series II V6. I currently have 116,000 miles. Also, are there performance mufflers with...
If it has a timing CHAIN, I wouldn't bother replacing it until you need a valve job or engine rebuild. The timing chain should last quite a while, especially since it is being lubricated as the engine runs.
However, if it has a timing BELT, at 116,000 miles, you're past due.

after the repairs needed and the associated cost you will be above value for the vehicle, if you havent heard it run and know it needs a timing chain you run the risk of buying a car with twisted valves. resulting in the need of an engine

Does my Civic have a timing chain or a timing belt
It has a timing belt. Recommended to be replace every 105,000 miles, timing belt also run's your water pump good idea to also replace, your engine is also an INTERFERENCE ENGINE which will damage your cylinder head valve's if timing belt goes bad. Hope this was very helpful.

190e timing chain broke. how do I remove it.
chances are you smacked a valve when it broke so it is going to require the removal of the cylinder head and a proper valve job performed. these kinds of repairs are better left to professionals due to the fact if you dont get the right torque it will not work, or turn the engine left while the chain is attatched you stand to bend valves again.

How to replace the timing chain and cover 22R-E engine 5 speed trans 2wd.
It's a lot of work. I've rebuilt my engine.
It's just way too much info to put on the computer.
The best and easiest way for a Do-It-Yourselfer is to get a Chilton Manual for the autoparts store. It's cost about $20. It's will show you everything on how to do it step by step.

Here's what your look at to get the job done:
Removing the radiator, belts, pulleys, AC pump bracket (if it has AC), valve cover, distributor, and timing chain cover.

You'll have to replace:
Timing chain ( of course ), valve cover gaskets, timing chain cover gaskets, coolant, engine oil, and O-ring for the distributor.
It would be a good idea to replace the oil pump as long as you have everything part.
