EM-102Revision: June 2006
CYLINDER BLOCK
2007 Versa

If clearance exceeds the limit, select proper main bearing according to main bearing inner diameter and
crankshaft main journal diameter to obtain specified bearing oil clearance. Refer to EM-91, "
HOW TO
SELECT MAIN 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
specified torque. Refer to EM-81, "
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-81, "
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 tight-
ened to the specified torque with connecting rod bearings (1)
installed, the tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-81,
"ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure (B).

If the standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.: 0.012 - 0.022 mm (0.0005 - 0.0009 in)
Limit : 0.065 mm (0.0026 in)

Removal and InstallationEBS00TSS
REMOVAL
CAUTION:

Be sure to use genuine NISSAN exhaust system parts or equivalents which are specially designed
for heat resistance, corrosion resistance and shape.

Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully cooled down because the system will be hot
just after the engine stops.

Be careful not to cut your hand on heat insulator edge.
1. Disconnect harness connector of heated oxygen sensor 2.

Using Tool, remove heated oxygen sensor 2.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage heated oxygen sensor 2.
a.2. Disconnect each joint and mounting rubber.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Always replace exhaust gaskets and seal bearings with new ones when installing.

Discard any heated oxygen sensor 2 which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m
(19.7 in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.

Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor 2, clean exhaust system threads using the heated
oxygen sensor thread cleaner and apply anti-seize lubricant (commercial service tool).

Do not over tighten heated oxygen sensor 2. Doing so may cause damage to the heated oxygen
sensor 2, resulting in the “MIL” coming on.

Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid
exhaust leakage.

Temporarily tighten nuts on the exhaust manifold side and bolts on the vehicle side. Check each
part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.

When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/
left directions.
Exhaust Manifold to Exhaust Front Tube
1. Securely insert seal bearing (2) into exhaust manifold (1) side in
the direction shown.

Exhaust front tube (5)
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage seal bearing surface when install-
ing.
2. Install spring (3), tighten nut (4).

Be careful that the stud bolt nut does not interfere with the
flanged area ( ).

Make sure the spring (3) sits properly on the flange surface by
align it to the locator dimples.Tool number : KV10114400 (J-38365)PBIC3797E

1. Securely insert seal bearing (2) into exhaust front tube (1) side
in the direction shown.

Center muffler (5)
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage seal bearing surface when install-
ing.
2. With spring (3), tighten bolt (4).

Be careful that the stud bolt does not interfere with the flanged
area ( ).
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

With the engine running, check exhaust tube joints for exhaust leakage and unusual noise.

Check to ensure that brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue stress.
Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration.

Checking Fuel LinesEBS00TSF
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
General PrecautionsEBS00TSG
WAR NIN G:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.

Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in the work area.

Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and have a CO2 fire extinguisher.

Do not smoke while working on the fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work
area.

Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in
safe area.
CAUTION:

Use gasoline required by the regulations for octane number. Refer to GI-6, "Precautions for Fuel
(Unleaded Regular Gasoline Recommended)" .

Before removing fuel line parts, perform the following procedures:
–Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-81, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
–Disconnect the battery ground cable.

Always replace O-rings and clamps with new ones.

Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.

Perform work on level surface.

Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.

After connecting fuel tube quick connectors, make sure quick connectors are secure.
Ensure that connector and resin tube do not contact any adjacent parts.

After installing tubes, make sure there is no fuel leakage at connections in the following steps.
–Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines by turning ignition switch ON (without starting the engine). Then
check for fuel leaks at the fuel tube connections.
–Start engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections.

Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement. If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used,
the MIL may come on.

For servicing “Evaporative Emission System” parts, refer to EC-31, "EVAPORATIVE EMISSION
SYSTEM" .

For servicing "On Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR)" parts, refer to EC-38, "ON BOARD
REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR)" .

securely connected.
4. Connect electrical harness connector.
Inspection Hole Cover

Before installing inspection hole cover, confirm that there are no fuel leaks. Refer to FL-8, "INSPECTION
AFTER INSTALLATION" .
1. Install inspection hole cover with the front mark (arrow) facing front of vehicle.
2. Lock clips by turning counterclockwise.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Use the following procedure to check for fuel leaks.
1. Turn ignition switch “ON” (without starting the engine), to check the connections for fuel leaks with the
electric fuel pump applying pressure to the fuel piping.
2. Start the engine and let it idle to check that there are no fuel leaks at the fuel system connections.

13. Remove fuel tank bands (RH and LH).
14. Lower transmission jack carefully to remove fuel tank while sup-
porting it by hand.
CAUTION:
Fuel tank may be in an unstable position because of the
shape of fuel tank bottom. Be sure to support tank securely.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
EVAP Canister
1. Check the connection for damage or any foreign materials.

Insert fuel filler hose to the length below.

Be sure hose clamp is not placed on swelled area of fuel filler tube.
EVAP Hose
1. Check connections for damage or foreign material.
2. Align the matching quick connector (A) with the center of EVAP
hose (1), and insert quick connector (A) straight until it clicks.
3. After connecting, pull on quick connector (A) and EVAP hose (1)
by hand. Make sure connections are secure.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Use the following procedure to check for fuel leaks.
1. Turn ignition switch “ON” (without starting the engine), to check the connections for fuel leaks with the
electric fuel pump applying pressure to the fuel piping.
2. Start the engine and let it idle to check that there are no fuel leaks at the fuel system connections.
