I took a loong look at the read out At carparts.com. Using 70, 69 and 68
2000 convertible 2 door gave me the same list Stephan referred to. Take a
look for your selves

http://www.carparts.com/parts/search5.asp?OrderIdentifier=ID9293471737110002
52&reflink=14913-0-0-0&SegmentId=1&parttypeid=1047&vehicleid=14913&catalogid
=&partnum=NONE&dc=

(remember, for that link to work, you'll have to remove the returns our list
server will put in)

Clevite lists a 20 toothed crank gear and a 40 toothed cam gear id'ed as U20
I think our set up is a 20 crank a 40 jackshaft a 20 jacksaft and a 20 upper
cam. so already you hit a snag.

Dynagear lists both the 54 link jackshaft chain and the 94 link cam chain.
the even give the correct Nissan number for the 94 link. The 54 number is
way off.

The melling products are all for H20's which is an industrial engine used in
home market trucks and imported equipment. Although it has been used for
R-16 replacements.

So, I'm about to replace my timing components. I'll be buying them from our
suppliers. They have put the research into what they supply, I will be
confident that I'll get the proper support from them. I already know that
more than the chain and gears should be replaced. They will make sure I get
all the parts necessary for this job. If we don't keep these folks in
business, our cars will be continuously broken garage queens.
