Not sure, but I don't think so... I had an 06 prior to this that did burn oil, and this one does not blow the black smoke my other one did. These pipes were pretty clean of residue too.

oh i see....yeah usually the timing chain only gets changed when its actually broken or dis-linking as they say. Then its the tensioners which is a whole kit in its self and that sums the timing chain repair. I bet your chain is perfectly and they want to capitalize on part sale and labor,,,

All of the vehicles I've owned lately but they all were timing chains. I've never had an Issue.

Nah, it was just a possible "stupid question" about spark plugs.

Man, I was driving around last night and there sat a Pearl white 07 honey at a used car lot... i of course had to bust a U-ie to check it out. I popped open the hood and i could of sworn I heard Angels singing from heaven... there it was, in all is awesomeness, with dual stillen Intakes. Needless to say I'm still licking my wounds ... Be gentle

Well, I'm pretty sure the answer is going to be no, but I've been wanting to change out my spark plugs and since Nissan was going to be working on my timing chain I didn't know if they would have easy access to them from there...
