Measure point “H”.
Piston to Cylinder Bore Clearance
Calculate by using diameter of the piston skirt and the cylinder bore diameter (direction X, position B).
(Clearance) = (Cylinder bore diameter) – (piston skirt diameter)
If calculation exceeds the limit, replace piston/piston pin assembly.
Reboring Cylinder Bore
1. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston-to-bore clearance to piston diameter “A”.
2. Install main bearing caps, and tighten them to the specified torque. Otherwise, cylinder bores may be dis-
torted in final assembly.
3. Cut the cylinder bores.
NOTE:
When any cylinder needs boring, all other cylinders must also be bored.
Do not cut too much out of cylinder bore at one time. Cut only 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or so in diameter at
a time.
4. Hone cylinders to obtain the specified piston-to-bore clearance.
5. Measure the finished cylinder bore for out-of-round and taper.
NOTE:
Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.

EXHAUST SYSTEM
2005 QX56
REMOVAL
Remove exhaust system components using power tool.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when reassembling.
Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean and lube the exhaust tube threads using Tool.
Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7
in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; replace with a new one.
Do not over-torque the heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may damage the heated oxygen sensor,
resulting in the MIL coming on.
If any mounting insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on
the mounting insulators, clean and inspect them.
Temporarily tighten the nuts on the exhaust manifold side and the bolts on the vehicle side. Check
each part for interference with other components, and then tighten the nuts and bolts to specifica-
tion.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
With the engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.
Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration. Tool number

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EDS003PC
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WAR NIN G:
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 must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI 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 SRS section.
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
PrecautionsEDS003PD
CAUTION:
Before starting diagnosis of the vehicle, understand symptoms well. Perform correct and system-
atic operations.
Check for the correct installation status prior removal or disassembly. When matching marks are
required, be sure they do not interfere with the function of the parts they are applied to.
Carry out an overhaul in a clean work place, Using a dust proof room is recommended.
Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the
exterior the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and abnormal wear. If a
malfunction is detected, replace it with a new one.
Normally replace lock pins, oil seals, and bearings with new ones every times they are removed.
In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to out-
side. If tightening sequence is specified, observe it.
Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow them dry.
Be careful not to damage the sliding surfaces and mating surface.
When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface; then remove any mois-
ture, oil, and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.
Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
Avoid using cotton gloves or a shop cloth to prevent entering of lint.
During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque, and new differential gear oil, Vaseline,
or multi-purpose grease, as specified for each vehicle, when necessary.
