The 1989 Nissan Stanza 2.0 4 cylinder has a timing belt. This is also an Interferance Engine, and as such if the belt breaks, serious engine damage will occur. The belt should be replaced at 60,000 miles.

Chain
You don't. 89 sentra does not have a timing belt, instead it has timing chain. I have the 1989 Nissan Sentra 1.6L 4-dr sedan. My timing chain needs to be replaced. It runs inside the motor. It is a big task for an auto mechanic to replace it. It will cost me at a *trustworthy* business $470 for part(s) and labor to replace it. Expect it to take a whole day for the car to be in the shop.

A 1989 Honda Accord has a timing belt.
Ha yes timing belt breakage in any car can cause damage to the engine... things like bent valves, scored cylinder walls and possible engine failure. That is why the idea is to replace timing belts before they break.

The mark is on the gear right under the chain. Clean off the side of the gear good because its a little divot and hard to see. Then on the pulley for the cam. there is a little pin that sticks out of the block. mark and count the notches. do not miss align these. Good luck
