2. Remove the alternator.
3. Remove the A/C compressor and bracket with piping con-
nected. Move and support it at the LH side of engine bay with
a rope to avoid putting load on piping.
Refer to HA section in Nissan Service Manual (Supplement
I: Publication No. SM0E-Y61AE0E.)
4. Remove the chain cover, timing chain and other parts in
connection.
Before removing timing chain, remove injection pump
sprocket with No.1 cylinder being positioned at TDC. Refer
to the figure.
Refer to ªTIMING CHAINº, EM-1027.
CAUTION:
After removing timing chain, never rotate crankshaft, or the
piston will push the valve up and damage the valve.
+Do not paint the match mark on the timing chain beforehand
as the No. 1 cylinder is set at the TDC during assembly.
5. Remove the TDC sensor.
CAUTION:
+Do not drop or hit the sensor.
+Store in a clean place free of iron filings, etc.
+Do not place near any magnetic equipment.
6. Remove the water pump and its stud bolts.
Refer to ªWATER PUMPº in LC section.
7. Remove the water inlet.

VALVE SEAT CONTACT
Check valve for any evidence of pitting at valve contact surface,
and reseat or replace if worn out excessively.
+When repairing valve seats, check valve and valve guide
for wear beforehand. If worn, replace them. Then correct
valve seat.
+The cutting should be done with both hands for uniform
cutting.
VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT
+When removing valve seat, replace it with oversized [0.5 mm
(0.0020 in)] valve seat.
1. Cut valve seat to make it thin, and pull it out.
2. Machine cylinder head inner diameter at valve seat installa-
tion position.
Machining dimension:
Intake
33.500 - 33.515 mm (1.3189 - 1.3195 in) dia.
Exhaust
31.995 - 32.010 mm (1.2596 - 1.2602 in) dia.
3. Heat cylinder head to approximately 110 to 130ÉC (230 to
266ÉF) in oil bath.
4. After cooling valve seats sufficiently with dry ice, press fit it
to cylinder head.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the cooled valve seats directly by hand.
5. Using valve seat cutter (multi-purpose tool), finish process-
ing referring to the dimensions shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
When using valve seat cutter, grasp cutter handle with both
hands, press cutter onto contacting face all around, and cut
thoroughly. If cutter is pressed unevenly or repeatedly, the
valve seat surface may be damaged.
6. Using compound, perform valve fitting.
7. Check again to make sure that contacting status is satisfac-
tory.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
The Supplemental Restraint System such as ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº used along
with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. The SRS system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL Y61 is as follows (The
composition varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
+For a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the
steering wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side),
seat belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
+For a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of
front seat), satellite sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision),
wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision).
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof this Service Manual.
WARNING:
+To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, 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 should be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
+Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and
Air Bag Module, see the RS section.
+Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation tape either just
before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
Precautions for Refrigerant Connection
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
+Expansion valve to cooling unit
FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
+The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This elimi-
nates the chance of the O-ring being caught in, or damaged by, the mating part. The sealing direction of the
O-ring is now set vertically in relation to the contacting surface of the mating part to improve sealing char-
acteristics.
+The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby
facilitating piping connections.

System Check
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Seri-
ous burns could occur from high pressure coolant escaping
from the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter
turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove
the cap by turning it all the way.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES
Check hoses for the following:
+Improper attachment
+Leaks
+Cracks
+Damage
+Chafing
+Deterioration
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with
a tester.
Testing pressure:
98 kPa (0.98 bar, 1.0 kg/cm
2, 14 psi)
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
To check radiator cap, apply pressure to cap with a tester.
Radiator cap relief pressure:
Standard
59-98kPa
(0.59 - 0.98 bar, 0.6 - 1.0 kg/cm
2,9-14psi)
Pull the negative pressure valve to open it.
Check that it closes completely when released.
