Re: SML: Timing Chain or Camshaft sound

Hello fellow sentra buddies,

I have a 94 Sentra LE GA16DE with 128K and I was using the qastro Synthetic 
5W50 for a long time but one of my machanic buddies told me that when my car 
gets close to 100K to start using 20W50 or a straight 30W oil. I tried it and 
no more knocks and pings. I would recommend using a higher grade of oil. 

I have a question, I put headers on my 1.6L and when I started the engine 
after it warmed up the RPM went down idleing real low and it never did that 
before. I do have a problem with my engine maintaining a constant rpm, 
sometimes when I turn my steering wheel, or stop at a red light the rpm 
gauges needle bounces up and down. Does anyone have any suggestion on what 
could be the problem? 

Go Sentras!!
Nissan for ever!
Thanks, You may send me a direct email if you like!
Bryan, USMC
