This is a genuine Nissan timing chain guide, specifically the cam tensioner guide, designed for the YD25 engine commonly found in Nissan Navara D22, D40, and Pathfinder R51 models. This guide is a critical component located inside the engine's timing cover, where it presses against the outer, tension side of the upper timing chain that drives the camshafts. Its primary function is to maintain correct chain tension, ensuring accurate engine timing and smooth operation.

As a crucial wear item, this guide can degrade over time. Replacing it with a genuine Nissan part is essential for maintaining correct chain tension, which ensures optimal engine performance and longevity. Using a genuine part guarantees a perfect fit and OEM-grade materials designed for the demands of your engine.

Installation Notes 

Replacing this timing chain guide is a complex job that requires removing the engine's timing cover and may require specialised tools. We recommend this work is performed by a qualified mechanic. When replacing timing components, it is best practice to inspect the timing chain, other guides, and gears for wear. Consider replacing the timing cover gasket and front crankshaft seal at the same time.
