1998 NISSAN PATROL Piston

Assembly
PISTON
1. Install new snap ring on one side of piston pin hole.
2. Heat piston to 60 to 70ÉC (140 to 158ÉF) and assemble piston,
piston pin, connecting rod and new snap ring.
+Align the direction of piston and connecting rod.
+Numbers stamped on connecting rod and cap correspond
to each cylinder.
+After assembly, make sure connecting rod swings
smoothly.
3. Set piston rings as shown.
CAUTION:
+When piston rings are not replaced, make sure that piston
rings are mounted in their original positions.
+Install new piston rings either side up if there is no punch-
mark.
+Align piston rings so that end gaps are positioned as
shown.
CRANKSHAFT
1. Set main bearings in their proper positions on cylinder block
and main bearing cap.
+Con®rm that correct main bearings are selected by using
Method A or Method B. Refer to EM-52.
+Apply new engine oil to bearing surfaces.

2. Install crankshaft and main bearing caps and tighten bolts to
the speci®ed torque.
+Apply new engine oil to the bolt thread and seat surface.
+Prior to tightening bearing cap bolts, shift crankshaft back
and forth to properly seat the bearing cap.
+Tighten bearing cap bolts gradually in two or three steps.
Start with center bearing and move outward as shown in
®gure.
+After securing bearing cap bolts, make sure crankshaft
turns smoothly by hand.
3. Measure crankshaft end play.
Crankshaft end play:
Standard
0.050 - 0.18 mm (0.0020 - 0.0071 in)
Limit
0.30 mm (0.0118 in)
If beyond the limit, replace thrust bearing with a new one.
4. Install connecting rod bearings in connecting rods and connect-
ing rod caps.
+Con®rm that correct bearings are selected. Refer to ``Con-
necting rod bearing (Big end)'', EM-52.
+Install bearings so that oil hole in connecting rod aligns
with oil hole of bearing.
+Apply new engine oil to bearing surfaces, bolt threads and
seating surfaces.
5. Install pistons with connecting rods.
a. Install them into corresponding cylinders with Tool.
+Make sure connecting rod does not scratch cylinder wall.
+Make sure connecting rod bolts do not scratch crankshaft
pin journals.
+Arrange so that front mark on piston head faces toward
front of engine.
+Apply new engine oil to piston rings and sliding surface of
piston.
b. Install connecting rod caps.
+Apply new engine oil to bolt threads and nut seating sur-
faces.
Tighten connecting rod cap nuts using the following procedure.
(1) Tighten to 14 to 16 Nzm
(1.4 to 1.6 kg-m, 10 to 12 ft-lb).
(2) Turn nuts 60 to 65É clockwise with an angle wrench. If
an angle wrench is not available, tighten nuts to 37 to
45 Nzm (3.8 to 4.6 kg-m, 27 to 33 ft-lb).
