is it a belt or chain driven ... nissans timing works off of oil pressure the timing tention works of of the oil pressure if the pump is weak or if the tentioer was not tighend right it would couse your timing chane .not to have constant presssure and might let it slip . i have a 97 that has 260 000 miles and it is doing that i finaly jumped time, but it wasnt enogh to mess any thing up
it won't slip, it will break if anything, and yes it will bend the valves
To replace the belt on a Nissan Frontier, first loosen the idler pulley of the belt and remove the bolts. Then slip the replacement belt onto the pulley and put back the bolts.
The benefit to replacing the timing belt on a 99 Toyota RAV4 is that it prevents catastrophic failure and it keeps timing accurate. As the belt wears, it may slip or break which can be very expensive to repair.
Worn belt or belt that has stretched to the point the tensioner cannot keep the proper tension. The tensioner can also be defective. Replace the belt and the tensioner.
These cars had a problem with the teeth on the original timing belt coming off and the belt not breaking. if this has happened most likely you have bent valves too. These are a interference engine which means if they slip on the timing the valves hit the pistons. Chevrolet should have recalled these cars and put a better timing belt in them. Instead they did a goodwill service where they paid for a new timing belt if the owner paid to install it.

The timing may be off. If the timing belt is old then the gears can slip and cause backfiring, or the engine to not run at all.
You don't, it's either broken or not there is no in between. Unless you are very lucky and the belt will slip one tooth without braking. You will notice that because the engine timing will change.
Yes. Mine slipped at 6500 miles even with new tensioner, spring, etc
93 civic has a timing belt... if its dual overhead cams, it is nessecary to find the timing marks.. set them properly to their marks as well as the crankshaft. once these are properly set slip your timing belt on and then find the mark for your idler pulley.. reinstall everything and drive away
Timing belts only get loose if the tensioner is broken. If that happens the belt will slip and your engine will be out of time. It will either not run at all or run very badly. On an interference engine you could have internal engine damage.
The most two most common causes are either the belt being loose or the belt wearing to the point that it slips. Check for these two problems first.
The fan belt drives the fan, water pump, alternator, power steering, air conditioner and air pump... if the vehicle has all of these. The fan belt (often a serpentine belt) can slip without any real problem other than a little noise. The cam belt (timing belt) looks quite different and only drives the camshaft. The timing belt is designed to keep the camshaft and crankshaft in perfect synchronization. The timing belt has "lugs", or specially designed bumps in the belt that align with slots in the crankshaft pulley and the camshaft pulley. To protect the timing belt from grease, mud and other hazards, the timing belt is usually behind a fairly significant protective cover.
