Installation Notes and Quality

Confirm engine code, build date, and timing component layout before installation, especially on 2003 Nissan Altima models built from 11/2002. Because this kit excludes VVT and several sprockets, compare the existing timing system to the vehicle’s service information before disassembly. Cloyes designs and tests its timing components for durability and consistent operation, supporting a quiet, maintenance-free timing service experience.
