CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT
• Place a V-block on a precise flat table to support the journals on
both ends of the crankshaft.
• Place a dial gauge (A) straight up on the No. 3 journal.
• While rotating the crankshaft, read the movement of the pointer on the dial gauge (A), the total indicator runout reading.
OIL CLEARANCE OF CONNECTING ROD BEARING
Method of Measurement
• Install the connecting rod bearings (2) to the connecting rod (3)
and the cap (1), and tighten the c onnecting rod bolts to the speci-
fied torque. Using a inside micrometer measure the inner diameter
of connecting rod bearing (B).
(Oil clearance) = (Inner diameter of connecting rod bearing) –
(Outer diameter of crankshaft pin)
• If clearance cannot be adjusted within the standard, grind crankshaft pin and use undersized bearing. Refer
to EM-105, "How to Select Piston and Bearing"
.
Method of Using Plastigage
• Remove oil and dust on the crankshaft pin and the surfaces of
each bearing completely.
• Cut the 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 bolts 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 limit is
same as that described in the method by calculation.
OIL CLEARANCE OF MAIN BEARING
Method of Measurement
• Install the main bearings to the cylinder block and bearing cap. Measure the main bearing inner diameter with the bearing cap bolt tightened to the specified torque.
(Oil clearance) = (Inner diameter of main beari ng) – (Outer diameter of crankshaft journal)
• If the measured value exceeds the limit, select main bearings referring to the main bearing inner diameter
and crankshaft journal outer diameter, so that t he oil clearance satisfies the standard. Refer to EM-105,
"How to Select Piston and Bearing".

Precaution for Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951676
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 t he system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, 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 NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied 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 Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric 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 mi nutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Draining CoolantINFOID:0000000009460515
• Drain coolant when engine is cooled.
Precaution for Disconnecting Fuel PipingINFOID:0000000009460516
• Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.
• Release fuel pressure before disassembly.
• After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precaution for Removal and DisassemblyINFOID:0000000009460517
• When instructed to use special service tools, use the spec ified tools. Always be careful to work safely, avoid
forceful or uninstructed operations.
• Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.
• Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equiva lent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.
• Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and assembly.
• When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally
opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specif ied, do exactly as specified. Power tools may be used
where noted in the step.
Precaution for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementINFOID:0000000009460518
• Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precaution for Assembly and InstallationINFOID:0000000009460519
• Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.

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.

Precautions for Drive ShaftINFOID:0000000009464432
Observe the following precautions when disassembling and assembling drive shaft.
• Joint sub-assembly does not disass emble because it is non-overhaul parts.
• Perform work in a location which is as dust-free as possible.
• Before disassembling and assembling, clean the outside of parts.
• Prevention of the entry of foreign objects must be tak en into account during disassembly of the service loca-
tion.
• Disassembled parts must be carefully reassembled in the correct order. If work is interrupted, a clean cover must be placed over parts.
• Paper shop cloths must be used. Fabric shop cloths must not be used because of the danger of lint adhering
to parts.
• Disassembled parts (except for rubber parts) should be cleaned with kerosene which shall be removed by
blowing with air or wiping with paper shop cloths.
