Don't attempt it. It is not for the DIYer. There are very detailed procedures to follow and getting the timing right is is tricky. If you do attempt it buy a good manual and follow it closely.

2007 Hyundai azrea limited v6 3.8 need to change head gasket do I have to loosen the timing chain tensioner if so where is it

yes, yes and yes, and are all seen here in photo1 below.
lambda II engines. 3.8L
38 steps, +18 more on step 19, and 56 steps just for removal.
just to get the cover off is 31 +19 steps.

the service manual covers all this
a crank locker and cam locker is needed special tools.(or diy made)
https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp

DO not mix cam caps up, each are precision made and matched to head exact spot location. cams block head bolts.
gee read the manual first


differ, body but engine is 3.8, and all steps he did 56 steps not show.
he shops step 57 , head off, and coolant pipe off.

When replacing the head gaskets on a 95 Nissan maxima dual overhead can does all the timing components need to be replaced or what all needs to be replaced

Unless it has been replaced recently, I would advise changing the crank seal, cam seals, tensioner and belt, and water pump while you are there.

Hello, Where is the Cam position sensor located on a 2004 Nissan maxima bank 1 located?

3.5litre V6 Front wheel drive, the cam position sensor is in the back of the cylinder head above the transmission. bank one is the front bank, nearest to the grill. the cam sensor is held into the head with a 10mm bolt, has one wireing connector with 3 wires in it. the sensor is sort of round with a leg off one side for the bolt the secure.
may need to remove the engine cover to see it. it is held down with allen key bolts.

How can i tell if my 1994 nissan maxima is single or dual cam?

Pretty easy to tell even without taking the valve cover off.
If it is a dual cam, then the spark plugs are lined up right down the middle, between the 2 cams.
Which is optimal.
If it is a single cam, the plugs have to be off to one side, on an angle.
Which is not as good.
