2001 NISSAN PICK-UP Repair Manual

Checking Fuel Lines
Check fuel lines and tank for proper attachment, leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
CAUTION:
Keep clean parts with compressed air when assembling.
Cleaning and Replacing Air Cleaner Filter
VISCOUS PAPER TYPE
The viscous paper type air cleaner filter does not require any
cleaning operation between renewal.
DRY PAPER TYPE
Clean or replace element more often under dusty driving condi-
tions.
Checking Cyclone Pre-air Cleaner
Remove duct cover and check duct for dust clogging. Clean
away dust.

Oil Pressure Check
WARNING:
+Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and oil
may be hot.
+Oil pressure check should be done in ªNeutral positionº.
1. Check oil level.
2. Remove oil pressure switch.
3. Install pressure gauge.
4. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
Engine speed
rpmApproximate discharge pressure
kPa (bar, kg/cm2, psi)
Idle speed More than 140 (1.40, 1.43, 20.3)
2,000 More than 270 (2.69, 2.75, 39.1)
4,000 More than 430 (4.29, 4.38, 62.3)
If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump
for oil leaks.
6. After the inspections, install the oil pressure switch as fol-
lows.
a. Remove the old sealant adhering to the switch and engine.
b. Apply Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent to the thread and
tighten.

Oil Pump
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
+When installing oil pump, apply engine oil to rotors.
Refer to ªPrimary Timing Chainº in EM section.
Reinstall all parts in the reverse order of removal.

OIL PUMP INSPECTION
+Install the inner rotor and outer rotor with the punched
marks on the pump cover side.
Using a feeler gauge, straightedge and micrometers, check the
following clearances:
Unit: mm (in)
Housing to outer rotor radial clearance10.114 - 0.260 (0.0045 - 0.0102)
Inner rotor to outer rotor tip clearance2Below 0.180 (0.0071)
Housing to inner rotor axial clearance30.050 - 0.090 (0.0020 - 0.0035)
Housing to outer rotor axial clearance40.030 - 0.190 (0.0012 - 0.0075)
Inner rotor to brazed portion of housing
clearance50.045 - 0.091 (0.0018 - 0.0036)
+If the tip clearance (2) exceeds the limit, replace rotor
set.
+If housing to rotor clearances (1, 3, 4, 5) exceed the limit,
replace oil pump housing assembly.
REGULATOR VALVE INSPECTION
1. Visually inspect components for wear and damage.
2. Check oil pressure regulator valve sliding surface and valve
spring.
3. Coat regulator valve with engine oil. Check that it falls
smoothly into the valve hole by its own weight.
If damaged, replace regulator valve set or oil pump housing.
4. Check regulator valve to oil pump cover clearance.
Clearance 6:
6 : 0.040 - 0.097 mm (0.0016 - 0.0038 in)
If it exceeds the limit, replace oil pump housing.
