PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Service NoticeEIS004W7
When removing or installing various parts, place a cloth or padding on the vehicle body to prevent
scratches.
Handle trim, molding, instruments, grille, etc. carefully during removing or installing. Be careful not to soil
or damage them.
Apply sealing compound where necessary when installing parts.
When applying sealing compound, be careful that the sealing compound does not protrude from parts.
When replacing any metal parts (for example body outer panel, members, etc.), be sure to take rust pre-
vention measures.
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EIS004W8
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.
WA RN ING:
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.

ASSEMBLY
1. Fully air-blow the coolant and oil passages in the cylinder block, cylinder bore, and crankcase to remove
any foreign material.
CAUTION:
Use goggles to protect your eyes.
2. Install each plug to the cylinder block (only screw-type plugs are
shown).
Apply liquid gasket.
Use Genuine Thread Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-
45, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
Replace copper washers with new ones.
Tighten each plug as specified below.
3. Install main bearings and thrust bearings.
a. Remove any dust, dirt, and oil on the bearing mating surfaces of
the cylinder block and the main bearing caps.
b. Install thrust bearings to both sides of the No. 3 journal housing
on the cylinder block and main bearing caps.
Install thrust bearings with the oil groove facing the crankshaft
arm (outside).
Install thrust bearings with a protrusion in the center on the
main bearing caps.
c. Install main bearings paying attention to the direction.
Install the one with oil holes onto the cylinder block and the
one without oil holes onto the main bearing cap.
Before installing bearings, apply engine oil to bearing surface
(inside). Do not apply oil to the back surface, but thoroughly
clean it.
When installing, align the bearing stopper to the notch.
Ensure the oil holes on the cylinder block and those on the
corresponding bearing are aligned.
4. Install pilot converter to the crankshaft using suitable tool.
5. Install crankshaft to the cylinder block.
While turning crankshaft by hand, make sure it turns
smoothly.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this

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.
