MAIN BEARING HOUSING INSIDE DIAMETER

Install the main bearing caps with the main bearings removed,
and tighten the bolts to the specified torque. Refer to EM-77,
"ASSEMBLY" .

Measure inside diameter of main bearing housing.

If out of the standard, replace cylinder block and main bearing
caps as an assembly.
NOTE:
These components must be replaced as a single unit, because
they were processed together.
PISTON TO CYLINDER BORE CLEARANCE
Cylinder Bore Diameter

Measure the cylinder bore for wear, out-of-round and taper at six
different points on each cylinder. ("X" and "Y" directions at "A",
"B" and "C")
NOTE:
When determining cylinder bore grade, measure cylinder bore at
"B" position.

If measured value exceeds the repair limit, or if there are
scratches and/or seizure on the cylinder inner wall, hone or bore the inner wall.

An oversize piston is provided. When using an oversize piston, hone the cylinder so that the clearance
between the piston and cylinder satisfies the standard.

If oversize piston is used, use it for all cylinders with oversize piston rings.

2005 QX56

Measure point “H”.
Piston to Cylinder Bore Clearance

Calculate by using diameter of the piston skirt and the cylinder bore diameter (direction X, position B).
(Clearance) = (Cylinder bore diameter) – (piston skirt diameter)

If calculation exceeds the limit, replace piston/piston pin assembly.
Reboring Cylinder Bore
1. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston-to-bore clearance to piston diameter “A”.
2. Install main bearing caps, and tighten them to the specified torque. Otherwise, cylinder bores may be dis-
torted in final assembly.
3. Cut the cylinder bores.
NOTE:

When any cylinder needs boring, all other cylinders must also be bored.

Do not cut too much out of cylinder bore at one time. Cut only 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or so in diameter at
a time.
4. Hone cylinders to obtain the specified piston-to-bore clearance.
5. Measure the finished cylinder bore for out-of-round and taper.
NOTE:
Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
CRANKSHAFT JOURNAL DIAMETER

Measure diameter of crankshaft journals.

If measurement is out of standard, measure the main bearing oil clearance. Then use the undersize bear-
ing. Refer to EM-96, "
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" . Distance from the top : 39 mm (1.54 in)

CRANKSHAFT PIN DIAMETER

Measure diameter of crankshaft pin using suitable tool.

If measurement is out of standard, measure the connecting rod
bearing oil clearance. Then use the undersize bearing. Refer to
EM-95, "
CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" .
OUT-OF-ROUND AND TAPER OF CRANKSHAFT

Measure dimensions at four different points as shown on each
journal and pin.

Out-of-roundness is indicated by the difference in dimension
between "X" and "Y" at "A" and "B".

Taper is indicated by the difference in dimension between "A"
and "B" at "X" and "Y".

If measured value exceeds the standard, correct or replace crankshaft.

If corrected, measure the bearing oil clearance of the corrected journal or pin. Then select the main bear-
ing or connecting rod bearing. Refer to EM-96, "
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" or EM-95, "CON-
NECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" .
CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT

Place a V-block on a precise flat table to support the journals on
both ends of the crankshaft.

Measure at No. 3 journal using suitable tool.

While rotating crankshaft, read the movement of the pointer.

Half of the movement shows the runout.

If measurement exceeds the limit, replace crankshaft.

Measure inside diameter of connecting rod bearing.
(Oil clearance) = (Inside diameter of connecting rod bearing) –
(Crankshaft pin diameter)

If clearance cannot be adjusted within the standard, grind crank-
shaft pin and use undersized bearing. Refer to EM-85, "
HOW
TO SELECT MAIN BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage

Remove oil and dust on the crankshaft pin and surfaces of each
bearing completely.

Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and
place it in the crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.

Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod and
connecting rod bearing cap, and tighten the connecting rod bolts
to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft with plastigage installed.

Remove the connecting rod bearing cap and bearings. Measure
the platigage width using the scale on the plastigage bag.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the repair limit is the same as that described in
“Method of Measurement.”

Install the main bearings to the cylinder block and main bearing
cap. Measure the main bearing inside diameter with the bearing
cap bolt tightened to the specified torque. Refer to EM-77,

When connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tight-
ened to the specified torque with the connecting rod bearings
installed, the tip end of the bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-
77, "ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.

If standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.
MAIN BEARING CAP BOLT DIAMETER

Check for bolts (M9 and M12) installed from lower side using the
following procedure.
NOTE:

Side bolt (M10) is outside the target.

Figure shows M12 bolt.

Measure bolt diameter "d1" from tip of the bolt to dimension "a".

Measure bolt diameter "d"2 from the dimension between tip of
the bolt and dimension "b" as base station to dimension "c".
NOTE:
If a narrower part in the threads is determined by visual check,
measure ″d2″ at that point.

Calculate the difference between "d1" and "d2".

PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EDS003PC
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WAR NIN G:

To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
PrecautionsEDS003PD
CAUTION:

Before starting diagnosis of the vehicle, understand symptoms well. Perform correct and system-
atic operations.

Check for the correct installation status prior removal or disassembly. When matching marks are
required, be sure they do not interfere with the function of the parts they are applied to.

Carry out an overhaul in a clean work place, Using a dust proof room is recommended.

Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the
exterior the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.

Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and abnormal wear. If a
malfunction is detected, replace it with a new one.

Normally replace lock pins, oil seals, and bearings with new ones every times they are removed.

In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to out-
side. If tightening sequence is specified, observe it.

Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow them dry.

Be careful not to damage the sliding surfaces and mating surface.

When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface; then remove any mois-
ture, oil, and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.

Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.

Avoid using cotton gloves or a shop cloth to prevent entering of lint.

During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque, and new differential gear oil, Vaseline,
or multi-purpose grease, as specified for each vehicle, when necessary.
