I'm about to remove my timing chain and lower gear as I need to access the bolts behind the lower gear, I am wondering how to tell when cylinder 1 is at TDC?
Also the Nissan learning resource advises not to use an impact wrench on timing gears, but I've watched a video where a professional looking fellow guy just rattles the top gear nut off, I'm guessing this applies to tightening and not loosening?
My next question is, what is a good way to lock the motor during loosening/tightening? Can I just jam some rag in the gears?
