NISSAN LATIO 2009 Service Repair Manual

How to Select
Piston and Bearing " .
Method of Using Plastigage
• Remove engine oil and dust on crankshaft main journal and the surfaces of each bearing completely.
• Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil
holes.
• Install main bearings to cylinder block and main bearing cap, and tighten main bearing cap bolts to the spec- ified torque. Refer to EM-200, " Disassembly and Assembly " for the tightening procedure.
CAUTION:
Never rotate crankshaft.
• Remove main bearing cap and bearings, and using the scale (A) on the plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is
same as that described in the “Method by Calculation”.
MAIN BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT
• When main bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the specified torque with main bearings (1) installed, the tip end of
bearing must protrude (B). Refer to EM-200, " Disassembly and
Assembly " for the tightening procedure.
• If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.
CONNECTING ROD BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT
• When connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the specified torque with connecting rod bearings (1) installed,
the tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-200, " Disassem-
bly and Assembly " for the tightening procedure (B).
• If the standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.
MAIN BEARING CAP BOLT OUTER DIAMETER

EM
NP
O
• Measure the outer diameters [(d
1), (d 2)] at two positions as shown.
• If reduction appears in places other than (B) range, regard it as (d 2).
• If it exceeds the limit (a large difference in dimensions), replace main bearing cap bolt with a new one.
CONNECTING ROD BOLT OUTER DIAMETER • Measure the outer diameter (d) at position as shown.
• If reduction appears in a position other than (d), regard it as (d).
• When (d) exceeds the limit (when it becomes thinner), replace connecting rod bolt with a new one.
CLOGGED OR DAMAGED OIL FILTER (FOR INTAKE VALVE TIMING CONTROL)
• Make sure that there is no foreign material on the oil filter and check it for clogging.
- Clean it if necessary.
• Check the oil filter for damage.
- Replace it if necessary.
FLYWHEEL DEFLECTION (M/T MODELS) • Measure the deflection of flywheel contact surface to clutch with a dial indicator (A).
• Measure the deflection at 210 mm (8.27 in) diameter.
• If measured value is out of the standard, replace flywheel.
• If a trace of burn or discolorati on is found on the surface, repair it
with sandpaper.
CAUTION:
When measuring, keep magnetic fields (such as dial indicator
stand) away from signal plate of the rear end of crankshaft.
MOVEMENT AMOUNT OF FLYWHEEL (M/T MODELS) CAUTION:
Never disassemble double mass flywheel.
Movement Amount of Thrust (Fore-and-Aft) Direction • Measure the movement amount of thrust (fore-and-af t) direction when 100 N (10.2 kg, 22 lb) force is added
at the portion of 125 mm (4.92 in) radi us from the center of flywheel.
