Hey, just a quick question, are sr20det's a free runner. If the timing chain snaps, will the pistons and valves smash together? I know the rb25 isnt a free runner but i wasnt sure about the sr.

Cheers

Not sure. Somewhere in the back of my mind says I've heard that they are. I'm probably wrong though...

[R34GTFOUR]

cheers, but does anybody know for sure?

Sorry but i dont know for sure either...

RBs arnt.

CAs arnt.

VGs arnt.

So one would assume that all nissan motors arnt.

Then again... assumption is the mother of all F ups!

i took the head off and re-set the cam timing using the silver links like you are meant to and just to be safe i rotated the motor a few times by hand just to make sure and nothing hit. But then we went to start the motor it wouldnt come to life then i re-checked the cam timing and it was out by 5 teeth . I didnt hear anything collide and i've taken everything off to start again, but i just want to be sure..

finally got it running, so no damage was done. Either they are a free runner or it just didnt skip enough teeth to do damage. Ignition timing was waaay to retard though, nothing like hitting boost at idle lol

you are luky as they are not free spiners.... well not until they beat them out of the way
