VK56DE Checks: Exhaust Manifold Studs and Timing Chain
On the VK56DE, two areas deserve a look before you install it.
First, check the exhaust manifold studs. Years of heating and cooling can break them. A broken stud often causes a ticking sound on a cold start. Replace the studs and gaskets while the engine is out of the truck.
Second, look at the timing chain. Early VK56DE engines have a known history of chain and guide wear. Nissan updated some of those parts later. Ask your installer to replace the chain, guides and tensioners during the swap. That job costs much more once the engine is back in the truck.
