Sr20 timing chain replacement - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Okay so my timing chain has snapped and I am wondering if I can install a new one by breaking the new one with a chain breaker and dropping it down one side of the crank and a piece of string down the other tying them together and pulling the chain up and reattaching. The reason I want to try this is I don't want to pull out the whole engine. Any thoughts?
