I am tackling a fairly big repair of a timing chain on a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder (the VQ35DD engine). I didn't know when I bought it, but these are notorious for a stretched timing chain. It is especially bad when people haven't been meticulous about oil changes and they let a little sludge build up. People tried a class action suit to get Nissan to fix it, but they lost. I bought mine from a rental company at about 40k miles, and even though I have been religious about oil changes, at about 120k miles our started having the tell-tale sounds of the stretched timing chain. I suspect the rental company was not good about oil changes and got the ball rolling before I bought it.

Youtube is awesome and I have found a ton of video of people doing it both having dropped the engine out and with the engine still in. I have done timing belts before on two other cars, and most other non-open-the-engine repairs on my vehicles, so feel pretty comfortable doing this. I am doing the engine-in repair, as I don't have access to a lift. The problem I am having is that there is only free/cheap access to the shop manuals up through the 2016 model year (VQ35DE engine). Both Nissan and other shop manual services are charging $115-150 for a month of shop manual access.

The only thing I really need are the torque specs on the various bolts for this repair (which include the intake manifold and the valve cover to get access to some of the bolts for the timing chain tensioners). A cursory look at pictures on the internet of the two engines (VQ34DE and VQ35DD) with the timing cover off don't really show any differences, but I really want to know those torque specs without having to fork out >$115 more.

Any suggestion on whether I just go with the torque specs from the 2016 shop manual?

Does someone have access to that page of the 2017 shop manual with all the torque specs?
