2001 NISSAN PICK-UP Repair Manual

VALVE GUIDE CLEARANCE
1. Check that valve stem diameter is within the specified range.
2. Push out valve approx. 25 mm (0.98 in) toward combustion
chamber. Swing valve in the direction of the dial gauge to
measure the runout.
+This inspection should be performed before removing valve
guides.
+Half of the runout reading on the dial gauge is the valve guide
clearance.
Standard:
Intake 0.020 - 0.053 mm (0.0008 - 0.0021 in)
Exhaust 0.040 - 0.073 mm (0.0016 - 0.0029 in)
3. If it exceeds the limit, check valve to valve guide clearance.
a. Measure valve stem diameter and valve guide inner diam-
eter.
b. Check that clearance is within specification.
Valve to valve guide clearance limit:
Intake 0.08 mm (0.0031 in)
Exhaust 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
c. If it exceeds the limit, replace valve or valve guide.
VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT
+When a valve guide is removed, replace with an oversized
[0.2 mm (0.008 in)] valve guide.
1. To remove valve guide, heat cylinder head to 110 to 130ÉC
(230 to 266ÉF) by soaking in heated oil.
2. Drive out valve guide with a press [under a 20 kN (2 ton, 2.2
US ton, 2.0 Imp ton) pressure] or hammer and suitable tool.
3. Ream cylinder head valve guide hole.
Valve guide hole diameter (for service parts):
10.175 - 10.196 mm (0.4006 - 0.4014 in)

5. Ream valve guide.
Finished size:
6.000 - 6.018 mm (0.2362 - 0.2369 in)
VALVE SEATS
+Before starting this check, confirm that the dimensions of
valve guides and valves are as specified.
+Apply red lead primer on contacting surfaces of valve seat
and of valve face to examine the conditions of contacting
surfaces.
+Check that the paint on contacting surfaces is continuous
along the entire circumference.
+If there are abnormal indications, grind the valve and check
the contact again. If abnormal indications still persist, replace
valve seat.
REPLACING VALVE SEAT FOR SERVICE PARTS
1. Bore out old seat until it collapses. Boring should not con-
tinue beyond the bottom face of the seat recess in cylinder
head. Set the machine depth stop to ensure this.
2. Ream cylinder head recess for service valve seat.
Oversize [0.5 mm (0.020 in)]:
Intake 30.500 - 30.516 mm (1.2008 - 1.2014 in)
Exhaust 29.500 - 29.516 mm (1.1614 - 1.1620 in)
Be sure to ream in circles concentric to the valve guide
center.
This will enable valve seat to fit correctly.

3. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 120ÉC (230 to 248ÉF) by soak-
ing in heated oil.
4. Sufficiently cool valve seat with dry ice. Force fit valve seat
into cylinder head.
WARNING:
Do not touch cold valve seat with your bare hands.
5. Cut or grind valve seat using suitable tool to the specified
dimensions as shown in SDS (EM-3092).
CAUTION:
Use the valve seat cutter properly. Securely gripping the
cutter handle with both hands, press the cutter down onto
the entire circumference of the contacting surface and fin-
ish cutting at one time. Improper pressing of the cutter or
cutting in several steps may result in staged surface on the
valve seat.
6. After cutting, lap valve seat with abrasive compound.
7. Check valve seating condition. Refer to EM-3053, ªValve
Seatsº.
8. Use a depth gauge to measure the distance between the
mounting surface of the cylinder head spring seat and the
valve stem end. If the distance is shorter than specified,
repeat step 5 above to adjust it. If it is longer, replace the
valve seat with a new one.
