NOTE:
HMaintenance items with ªHº should be performed more frequently according to ªMaintenance Under Severe Driving Con-
ditionsº.
(1) Use Nissan genuine engine coolant, or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within the
engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant. After first replacement, replace every 40,000 km (24,
000 miles) or 24 months.
(2) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to FE section.
*1: Models without three way catalyst
*2: For models with three way catalyst, periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
*3: Models with three way catalyst

Parts Requiring Angular TighteningNJEM0001+Use an angle wrench for the final tightening of the following
engine parts:
a) Cylinder head bolts
b) Main bearing cap bolts
c) Connecting rod cap nuts
+Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
+The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
+Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with
engine oil.

AEM080
Liquid Gasket Application ProcedureNJEM00021.Use a scraper to remove old liquid gasket from mating
surfaces and grooves. Also, completely clean any oil from
these areas.
2.Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating sur-
faces. (Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.)
+For oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 3.5 to 4.5 mm
(0.138 to 0.177 in).
+For areas except oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is
2.0 to 3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in).
3.Apply liquid gasket around the inner side of bolt holes
(unless otherwise specified).
4.Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
5.Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling engine oil and
engine coolant.
PRECAUTIONSQG

6. Install camshaft sprocket bolts and tighten them to correct
torque.
+Apply new engine oil to bolt threads and seat surface.
SEM520G
7. Install chain tensioner.
+Before installing chain tensioner, insert a suitable pin into
pin hole of chain tensioner.
+After installing chain tensioner, remove the pin.
8. Install timing chain guide.
SEM893F
9. Install O-rings to cylinder block.

10. Before installing front cover, remove all traces of liquid gasket
from mating surface using a scraper.
+Also remove traces of liquid gasket from mating surface of
cylinder block.
SEM677G
11. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating surface of
front cover.
+Check alignment of mating marks on chain and crankshaft
sprocket.
+Align oil drive spacer with oil pump.
+Place timing chain to the side of chain guide. This pre-
vents the chain from making contact with water seal area
of front cover.
