I recently bought a 2006 Nissan Xterra with the 4.0 liter engine in it. I was just wandering if the 4.0 liter engines had a timing chain or a timing belt? and if the engine is interference or non-interference?

Thanks.

Service manual I have says nothing about changing timing belts, so I would assume it's a chain, and probably interference as well.

05+ is the VQ engine, which has a chain. The previous V6 was the VG, which had a belt.

yea the vq has three chains and all the nissan motors are interference except the ones they did with ford on the older quests and stuff
