I need to pop to Halfords to purchase a high torqe wrench (200nm max) and a spanner to hold the cam in place whilst removing the vvt sprocket bolt.
Can anyone please confirm the size of the spanner needed to use on the cam hex part to hold it in place and also what size bolt holds the vvt sprocket on.
Cheers
Dylan
did it with a adjustable the other day but a spanner would be best, sorry not much help.
Yeah, with the high torque I don't want to use my adjustable
It slipped a few times but got there in the end. Its around a 24mm i think.
Anyway of confirming that?
Hmmm 24mm rings a bell, pain in the arse to get hold of, I know halfords didnt have one when paul was faffing.
Yeah i had to buy a spanner when i did mine but i can't remember the size and i'm not at home so can't check the size.... 24mm does sound about right though.
That's fine, I'll only be buying in the morning so can I ask you to check when you get home easy?
24 for the bolt, 26 or a 1" for the cam.
I can check on a spare engine when i get back today.
Kexxi sounds like he might know but i'll check anyway
24 for the cam bolt and 26 for the cam.
can you clean the vvt sprocket to quieten it down? sorry about the hijack but you got your answers lol
lots of people have lots of different methods to being able to fix there noisey sprocket!
I would just try it myself.
Thanks everyone! 26 it is then!
Riske, I'd just get a s15 vvt solanoid and a quiet vvt sprocket and replace both. My vvt solanoid has fixed two of my sr startup rattles....only replacing the sprocket as its a bit like a diesel sometimes and I want to stop that aswell
I strongly beleve the solanoid is whats causing damage to the sprokets, hence why people change for a new one and get the rattle again after x amount of miles. Why would Nissan change the design of the solanoid only to change back to the old design slightly revised on the s15 ones.Originally Posted by djtreble
I have a new s15 one coming soon and i think theres a good chance it might sort mine as its not to bad so hopefully it wont have warn my sproket too much. The solanoid i have at the moment is the cheap Nissan one without the valve bit on the end which is the spoket killer imo
yep i always change the solinoid with a sproket!!!!!!
My engine is eating them ATM, the hks cams for some reason seeem to knock them out, im on my 3rd sproket since end of march!!!!
I'm about to change my VVT sprocket, should I change the solenoid too? What one should I use? How much are they?
Sorry for all the questions
Change the solanoid for the one on the right here:
Many people will say it doesn't resolve the problem but everytime I have done it it has worked! And I'm not the only one
Oh one last question....Is it safe to use an impact wrench on the sprocket bolt or not?
thanks for that mate, have you got a part number for that please? How much are they?
