a. Insert Tool (A) between the lower oil pan and the upper oil pan.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage the mating surface.
• Do not insert a screwdriver or similar tool, this will dam-
age the mating surfaces.
b. In areas where the cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic hammer to lightly tap (1) the cutter where the liquid gasket is applied. Use
a plastic hammer to slide (2) the cutter by tapping on the side.
4. If re-installing the original lower oil pan, remove the old liquid gasket from the mating surfaces using a scraper.
• Also remove the old liquid gasket from mating surface of the upper oil pan.
• Remove the old liquid gasket from the bolt holes and threads.
CAUTION:
Do not scratch or damage the mating surf aces when cleaning off the old liquid gasket.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Clean oil strainer if any object is attached.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to the lower oil pan.
• Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant, or equivalent. Refer to GI-
21, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
• Be sure the liquid gasket is 4.5 - 5.5 mm (0.177 - 0.217 in) wide.
• Installation must be done within 5 minutes after applying liquid gasket.
2. Install the lower oil pan. Tighten the lower oil pan bolts in order as shown.
• Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling the engine with oil.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Start the engine and check for leaks. Refer to LU-25, "Inspection".
• Inspect the engine oil level. Refer to LU-25, "Inspection"
.
Removal and Installation (Upper Oil Pan)INFOID:0000000009460550
REMOVAL

• When removing the front and rear engine through bolt s and nuts, lift the engine up slightly for safety.
For engine slingers, refer to EM-220, "Removal and Installation"
.
CAUTION:
When removing the upper oil pan from the engine , first remove the crankshaft position sensor (POS).
Be careful not to damage senso r edges or signal plate teeth.

TIMING CHAIN
a. Attach a suitable stopper pin (B) to the bank 1 (A) and bank 2
(C) timing chain tensioners (secondary) (1).
NOTE:
• Use approximately 0.5 mm (0.02 in) diameter hard metal pin
as a stopper pin.
• Removal of camshaft bracket (No. 1) is required prior to
removing the timing chain tensioner (secondary).
b. Remove camshaft sprockets (INT and EXH) bolts. • Apply paint to the timing chain and camshaft sprockets for alignment during installation.
• Secure the hexagonal portion of camshaft using a wrench to
loosen bolts.
CAUTION:
Do not loosen bolts using an ything other than the cam-
shaft hexagonal portion. Do no t apply tension to the tim-
ing chain.
c. Remove timing chain (secondary) together with camshaft sprockets. • Turn camshaft slightly to keep the chain ti ght when removing the timing chain (secondary).
• Insert 0.5 mm (0.020 in) thick metal or resin plate between tim- ing chain and timing chain tensioner plunger (guide) (E).
Remove timing chain (secondary) (2) together with camshaft
sprockets with timing chain loose from guide groove.
CAUTION:
Be careful of plunger coming off when removing timing chain (secondary). The plunger of timing
chain tensioner (secondary) moves during operatio n, which could cause the stopper pin to fall
out.
• Bank 1 shown.
d. Camshaft sprocket (INT) is two-for-one structure of sprockets for timing chain (primary) and for timing
chain (secondary).
CAUTION:
• Handle camshaft sprocket (INT) carefully to avoid any
shock to camshaft sprocket.
• Do not disassemble. [Do not loosen bolts (A) as shown].

1. Install the connecting rod bearing to the connecting rod and cap.
2. Install the connecting rod cap to the connecti ng rod. Tighten to specification. Refer to EM-224, "Disassem-
bly and Assembly".
3. Measure the inner diameter (C) of each connecting rod (big end) as shown.
4. Measure the outer diameter (Dp) of each crankshaft pin journal.
5. Calculate the connecting rod bearing clearance. Connecting rod bearing clearance = (C) - (Dp)
6. If the calculated clearance exceeds the specified limit, replace the bearings.
7. If the clearance cannot be adjusted within the standard of any bearing, grind the crankshaft journal and use undersized bear-
ings.
8. If the crankshaft is replaced with a new one, select the connect-
ing rod bearings according to the following table:
Connecting Rod Bearing Grad e Number (Identification
Color)
These numbers are punched in eit her Arabic or Roman numer-
als.
Method B (Using Plastigage)
• Remove oil and dust on the crankshaft pin 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 the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod cap, and tighten the connecting rod nuts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate the crankshaft.
• Remove the connecting rod cap and bearings, and using the scale on the Plastigage bag, measure the Plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the repair limit
is same as that described in "Method A (Using Bore Gauge and Micrometer)".

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951582
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, 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 performed by
an authorized NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery and wait at least three minutes before performing any service.
General precautions fo r service operationsINFOID:0000000009463538
• Do not work with wet hands.
• The xenon headlamp system includes a high voltage generating
part. Be sure to disconnect batte ry negative cable (negative termi-
nal) or power fuse before removing, installing, or touching the
xenon headlamp (including lamp bulb).
• Turn the lighting switch OFF before disconnecting and connecting the connector.
• When turning the xenon headlamp on and while it is illuminated, do
not touch the harness, bulb, and socket of the headlamp.
• When checking the headlamp on/off operation, check it on vehicle and with the power connected to the vehicle-side connector.
• Do not touch the headlamp bulb glass surface with bare hands or allow oil or grease to get on it. Do not touch the headl amp bulb just after the headlamp is turned off, because
it is very hot.
• Install the xenon headlamp bulb socket co rrectly. If it is installed improperly, high-voltage leak or corona dis-
charge may occur that can melt the bulb, connector or housing. Do not illuminate the xenon headlamp bulb
out of the headlamp housing. Doing so can cause fire and harm your eyes.
• When the bulb has burned out, wrap it in a thick vinyl bag and discard. Do not break the bulb.
• Leaving the bulb removed from the headlamp housing for a long period of time can deteriorate the perfor- mance of the lens and reflector (dirt, clouding). Al ways prepare a new bulb and have it on hand when replac-
ing the bulb.
• When adjusting the headlamp aiming, turn the aiming adjus tment screw only in the tightening direction. If it
is necessary to loosen the screw, first fully loosen the screw, and then turn it in the tightening direction.
• Do not use organic solvent (paint thinner or gasoline) to clean lamps and to remove old sealant.
