there are 2 different 1.6L engines for this year. If you can find the right flywheel, you'll probably be fine. Other possible issues might be with wiring, but I checked the wiring diagram and it makes no distinction between the 2 engines. Still, I would check the connectors and make sure all the electric work will fit. Hopefully the computer will not object to the engine...
The timing chain doesn't really have a maintenance period. They don't have a habit of breaking or stretching. Timing belts on some vehicles do have a recomended replacement period. Locate your local NTB, Firestone, or Sears for the maintenance schedule.
I keep saying it and its still true, novice auto techs shoul NOT try replacing timing belts. this is only for the professional seasoned techs, sorry to break the news

well maybe there was some mis-communication there , nissan stopped using timing belts in sentra's and actually most all models in 2000 , maybe they were telling you that your serpentine belt needed changed ? but to answer your question , you do not have a timing belt in your 2002 nissan sentra . its a chain . thanks
I own this car, and I can say confidently that it has a timing chain instead of a belt. I believe you do not need to change the chain at any point...... it is more a matter of maintenance and repair to worn guides and tensioners.
