Over time, OEM chains stretch beyond the compensation travel of factory hydraulic tensioners. This elongation triggers cam-crank correlation diagnostic trouble codes (such as P0011 and P0016), causes guide rail chatter, and leads to plastic guide delamination, risking skipped timing under cold starts or heavy throttle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured from shot-peened, heat-treated high-tensile alloy steel, this replacement kit provides superior tensile strength and fatigue resistance against severe torsional harmonics. Hardened guide dampeners and tensioner shoes resist friction grooving and brittle thermal cracking. Upgraded internal hydraulic tensioner valving maintains critical baseline tension during initial engine turnover before full oil pressure stabilizes, eliminating timing slap and maintaining rigid valve synchronization across the entire rev range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Timing Chain (Primary) - 196 Links\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 Timing Chain Upper - 66 Links\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Balancer Chain - 74 Links\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Hydraulic Tensioner - Lower\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Hydraulic Tensioner - Upper Right\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Hydraulic Tensioner - Upper Left\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Balancer Chain Tensioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Guide Rail - Upper Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Guide Rail - Right Tensioner Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Guide Rail - Left Side Fixed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Crank Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Oil Pump Chain Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2017-2024 Nissan Pathfinder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVQ35DD\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eR52 \/ R53\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e284 hp \/ 259 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e130286KA0A\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e130706KA1B\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e13021-6KA0A\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2017-2024 Nissan Pathfinder (S, SV, SL, Platinum, Rock Creek) equipped with the 3.5L V6 VQ35DD engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the R52 \/ R53 Pathfinder?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2017-2024 Nissan Pathfinder equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eVQ35DD\u003c\/strong\u003e engine. \u003cstrong\u003eDoes not fit 2013-2016 Pathfinder models equipped with the multiport-injected VQ35DE engine or hybrid variants.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAre tensioners pre-loaded and do they require specific torque values?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, tensioners include retention pins that must remain installed until all guides and chains are properly timed, and all fasteners must be torqued strictly to Nissan factory service specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Nissan Durability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to sustain heavy hauling and high-load towing demands, these heavy-duty valvetrain components prevent timing drift and protect your engine through demanding duty cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67545131974904,"sku":"DS-EKL8QURY4","price":88.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-timing-chain-kit-for-nissan-pathfinder-2017-2024-3-5l-1.jpg?v=1790717529","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/performance-timing-chain-kit-for-nissan-pathfinder-2017-2024-3-5l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
