The top guide was in place when i pulled the valve cover. However i removed it after noticing how easily the chain could slap the top guide and after reading how nissan has a tech bulletin on the upper guides. I have yet to restart it since pulling the guide as im pondering what my next move should be.
My engine:
The car sat for about 6 months so i pulled the valve cover and poured two quarts over the entire head before starting it. In fact i was really impressed with how clean everything looked.
My check oil light is
not on, but i know it takes almost no pressure at all to trigger that thing. Ill get a gauge on it and post my findings. Since ive removed the top guide but not the upper right side guide will that cause any issues?
