Life span of Nissan 2.4L engine?
I know, more of a poll, but wanted input from real Nissan Owners!
Looking for how long one of these CAN run, and when or if the timing chain and water pump need attention. I just got a 95 (pickup) with 175K. I have several friends with 2.4s well over 200K. So, answerers, whats your record!
Added:
This was a replacement for an 86 and 1/2 with 235,000 miles that was still going strong, but was totaled in an accident! the 86 I had since new and was a VG3I (V6). Until the accident, I was fairly sure the remainder of the truck would rust-out and fail long before the engine.
The "NEW" 95 appears to have been well cared for, runs strong, and is a 5-speed manual. I'm just curious as to what endurance other owners have had with this engine. I'm especially curious about the timing chain, as the V6 had a belt, which I had just changed for the 4th time. Is there a point where the chain fails, or tensioner needs service? or is this normally something that outlives the remainder of the engine?
