Good Stuff - Kits and Kits

First, you can't beat the price. I mounted it on my '95 2.4 liter Nissan pickup. My truck made a loud timing chain rumble on cold starts and this timing chain kit eliminated that completely. All components included in the kit look nice and high quality. Everything fits perfectly. I noticed that paper gaskets are included for the front cover. These Nissan engines are only built with RTV, so I didn't use front cover gaskets. Just clean the surfaces and remove all the old RTV and install the new RTV. I am very satisfied with this product. $40 and a few hours of my free time and my truck is brand new again! ******UPDATE IN A FEW MONTHS*** The cold start squeal is back. it's not as bad as it used to be. But if I leave the truck all day, it happens. I also use 10w30 oil. Not sure if that tensioner kit is to blame as it is the same as the OEM tensioner. But I think it's just a design flaw at Nissan. I did a little research and bought a ratchet wrench from Martin-Industries.net. I should have gone with the improved tensioner first. But at least this kit provided the rest of the parts at a great price.
