There should be punched marks on the cam sprockets which need to be lined up with factory punched marks on the rear timing belt cover, immediately behind and just above the sprocket. Line those 2 gears up and bring crank shaft damper to 0 degrees top dead center according to first mark on dampers, left side as you face the motor check to see if your distributor rotor is facing the number one terminal if not complete full rotation because motor is on exhaust stroke.
Nissan timing marks g15 engin
the gears are grinding
Timing marks for twin cam 1.6L B6 engine. When crank pulley is at TDC on the compression stroke, 'E' & 'I' on the camshaft pulleys should be at 12 o'clock. Too easy.
the timing marks on the cam sprockets need to lined up. I would not attempt this repair if you don't know what you're doing. If the timing is off and you rotate the engine, you can cause severe damage to your valves.
It has a timing chain. A MAIN timing chain runs around the twin over head cams and crankshaft and a SECONDARY chain (balance shaft chain) runs off the crankshaft to turn the water pump. Both have timing marks and the balance shaft chain runs behind the timing chain.
on the twin overhead cams,four notches that have to line up with a straight edge with 2.0 front up for 2 liter motors and 2.4 front up for 2.4 liter motors and the bottom mark is behind the lower front cover ,after you remove the harmonic balancer,and the plastic cover
Run a compression check. If the compression is up the cam timing is probably right.
First put the #1 piston all the way up in the cyl.Make sure your crank shaft timing mark is lined up.There's another timing mark on the left side as you look at the crank shaft on the other gear(intermeteate gear).It too must be lined up. Put your cam gears timing marks together with all the valves closed on #1 cyl.
The base model pathfinder comes with a single camshaft. There is an upgraded vq33e that comes with twin cams found in the 97 and up SE (special edition) model.
After you take the front timing cover off and get the old timing belt off, there are 3 notches on the rear timing belt cover. I'm sure it is a twin overhead cam system, so you will have to read the sprockets on both cams. There are what looks like lines on both. On the left cam, you will want to to line it up with the intake manifold. There should be a line mark in between the words. Line it up with the left notch on top of the timing cover. One the right cam, you will have both intake manifold and exhaust manifold lines. Use the mark for the exhaust manifold, and line it up with the right side notch. Now you will have to look at the timing sprocket for the crankshaft. It appears to look like just a bar mark on the edge of the sprocket. Line that up with the notch on the bottom. You will have to use a hex wrench to adjust the belt tension on the tensioner pulley to get the belt on. Be sure not to let any of the sprockets move while you put the belt on or you will have to do the process over again.

Yes the 2000 passport has a timing belt as does its identical twin the Isuzu Rodeo.
