zac, i think the same thing happened to my dad when he removed his timing cover. as u mentioned i think he jsut patched is bak up with some of that gasket glue crap.
has been fine ever since.
actually now that i think about it, thats why he removed it, to fix a leak in the head gasket!!!!

Subject: my engine spat a tensioner
Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2002 14:31:08 +1030

Hi guys I pulled off the timing cover this afternoon to find the source of the rattling noise my engine was making and I found it alright; the tensioner had worn entirely on one side of the rubber and eventually fell off the side of the chain! The tensioner spring was pretty messed up! Wasn't doing any tensioning.
The only other thing I stuffed up was ripping the head gasket when I was pulling the front cover off. Hopefully a bit of that gasket in a tube crap can fix that.
Anyway I have ordered geniune chain and tensioner from Nissan for a reasonable price so it will be back together soon.
cheers,
zac
