To set the timing on a 2003 Nissan Sentra 1.8L engine, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys according to the specifications in the service manual. After installing the timing chain or belt, double-check the alignment of the marks before reassembling the engine components. Finally, start the engine to verify proper timing and listen for any unusual noises.

Does the 2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V use a timing belt or chain and around how much does it cost to replace?

I was told that timing belts should be replaced every 60,000 miles. However, when I called the local Nissan dealer for my 2003 Sentra, they told me it does not ever need to be replaced. Then I read somewhere that apparently Nissan guarantees the timing belt/chain to last the life time of the engine. I also read that 2003 Sentra has a timing chain, not a belt.
