Here is a little information on the issue with the KA24E timing chain rattle:
The first of the KA24E engines were recalled and the tensioner and "slinger" guide were replaced to a modified design. The next issue started when people started hearing chain rattle during start-up. What happens is that debris can sometimes enter the oil feed channel to the tensioner and restrict the flow and pressure. Once the engine was running, there was sufficient oil pressure to the tensioner to properly tension the chain. However, at start-up situations, the chain would remain "slack" and rattle and would eat away at the top of the fixed, plastic chain guide. In worse cases, the fixed guide would break apart so bad that the timing chain would start cutting into the back of the front cover and could cut into the coolant jacket behind the water pump! Nothing like aluminum shavings and coolant for your engine bearings! Eventually, Nissan finally smartened up and designed a fixed guide with a metal backing. This didn't necessarily address the main problem, but did keep the fixed guide from breaking apart and making the situation worse. 1995 models and up have the updated guide. 1994 models and earlier have the plastic guides unless they have been replaced with the updated parts. The twin cam, KA24DE, also had a similar design change on the lower chain guide, but they didn't really suffer from the problems that the KA24E did. The KA24DE did suffer from the same problem of sludge build up (usually behind the timing main gear) which caused upper chain rattle, which was "fixed" by eliminating the fixed guides of the upper chain (not really fixing the problem...just the noise). The KA24E engine would also encounter jumped timing in some cases when the guides failed and the chain slacked. This would also retard the ignition timing as the distributor ran off of the camshaft. This I would usually see on U12 Stanzas and B12 Sentras and generally one tooth seemed to retard the timing about 8 degrees. One tooth jumped, the engine would run, but have little power. More than a few teeth would often result in bent exhaust valves. The timing chains actually hold up pretty well. They do not have a recommended replacement interval, like timing belts. I highly recommend the Nissan filter (and recommend you NOT use the Fram) and keep up on the oil changes (3000-4000 miles). If the chain is rattling for 3 to 4 seconds at startup, it is NOT normal unless the oil has just been changed or the vehicle sits for an extended period of time (several weeks). If it is rattling that long of a period, I would recommend new guides and a tensioner. When the tensioner is removed, one can see the oil port. Remove the oil filter and clear out the port by spraying brake cleaner into the tensioner port until it sprays out of the oil filter adapter. Follow that with compressed air, if available. If there is a lot of mileage on the engine, to me it would be foolish not to replace the chain and gears while the cover is off. Obviously replace the old filter and oil prior to startup. 5W30 is recommended, regardless of whether you prefer dino oil or synthetic. It is better for the tiny ports of the hydraulic lifters, which is sometimes another problem with the KA24E engine (valve tap). Installation Notes: * Be careful with the timing cover. Loosen up the oil pan bolts and let it hang down so you lessen the chance of tearing your head gasket when youre putting it back togther. The book says pull the oil pan all the way off. You can just drop the pan to get the front cover free and never really take it off. * Be very careful pulling the drive pully off. The flanges can break off. Have an assistant put the vehicle in gear and stand on the brake to help get the drive pully off. * The oil pan does not take a seal, only RTV. The book did not make this clear and five different parts stores (including the Nissan dealership) said “We don’t carry it” instead of “You don’t need it”. * Pull out the fan shroud to get yourself some working space. * Tighten the drive pully bolt to 100 ft/lb as the book recommends. * If you cannot get your truck to start after your replace the timing chain:

Are the courtesyparts.com part #'s OE nissan part #'s?
Cam Sprocket - #13024-D21004 - $43.78 Tensioner Rail - #13091-D21003 - $59.14 Crank Sprocket - #13021-D21007 - $14.31 O-Ring - #15066-D21008 - $6.12 O-Ring2 - #15066-D21009 - $4.88 (Pretty sure there are only 2 o-rings) Water Pump - #21010-D21012 - $72.00 No oil pan gasket (RTV), Head gasket...just be careful - but the section that could be damaged doesn't see any combustion pressure it is just a oil seal |

Is the water pump on the front of the motor and easy to get to? That's behind and connected to the fan right? I want a 240sx pump to go electric fan? I will probably do that mod in the future, so I may leave the stock water pump for now. Yes?
EDIT: The part numbers with xxxxx-D21xx above are CourtesyParts.com numbers. I'm trying to get all Nissan numbers since they work as well on their site and at the dealership if you want to go that route.

those are courtesy's listed part#'s from the what I assume is the OE parts fiche (they are a dealer so i can't see them making up their own numbering system...)
The water pump is bolted to the front cover so its easy to replace with the timing set. |

Ok, Thanks David...But does the 240 pump have the manual fan mounts? I was thinking of dropping the fan at the sime time as I replace the waterpump. If I don't have to have those ugly bolts sticking out by using a 240 pump, I'd rather do that.

So those parts you posted are not Nissan part numbers. But thanks for helping! ![]() NOTE: Genuine Nissan part numbers are usually formatted as 5 digits or letters followed by a single dash and 5 or more digits or letters. E.g.: 15208-9E000, 11026-01M02

Its a older z-car that doesn't have the fan/clutch setup isn't it? 240sx w/ the KAe appears to be the same style as the HB
as far as part numbers go, you should be able to call any dealer - missing the days of VG30e being around haha... |

You could just get some nice looking Allen head bolts to screw into the flange on the pump where the pulley bolts on.
