2005 QX56
3. Install the crankshaft sprockets for both banks.

Install each crankshaft sprocket so that its flange side (the
larger diameter side without teeth) faces in the direction
shown.
NOTE:
The same parts are used but facing directions are different.
4. Install the timing chains and associated parts.

Align the mating mark on each sprocket and the timing chain for installation.
CAUTION:

Before installing chain tensioner, it is possible to change the position of mating mark on tim-
ing chain and each sprocket. After the mating marks are aligned, keep them aligned by hold-
ing them by hand.

Install the slack guides and tension guides onto the correct side by checking the identification mark on
the surface.

Install the chain tensioner with the plunger locked in with the stopper pin.
CAUTION:

Before and after the installation of the chain tensioner, make sure that the mating mark on the
timing chain is not out of alignment.

After installing the chain tensioner, remove the stopper pin to release the tensioner. Make
sure the tensioner is released.

To avoid chain-link skipping of the timing chain, do not move crankshaft or camshafts until
the front cover is installed.
5. In the same way as for the right bank, install the timing chain and associated parts on the left side.
6. Install the oil pump.
7. Install the oil pump drive spacer as follows:

Install so that the front mark on the front edge of the oil pump
drive spacer faces the front of the engine.

Insert the oil pump drive spacer according to the directions of
the crankshaft key and the two flat surfaces of the oil pump
inner rotor.

If the positional relationship does not allow the insertion,
rotate the oil pump inner rotor to allow the oil pump drive
spacer to be inserted.
8. Install the front oil seal using suitable tool.
CAUTION:
Do not scratch or make burrs on the circumference of the
oil seal.

CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up the engine thoroughly. Then stop the engine.
2. Release the fuel pressure. Refer to EC-93, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
CAUTION:
Leave the fuel pump fuse disconnected until step 7.
3. Remove the spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-27, "
REMOVAL" .
4. Connect the engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-II).
5. Install the compression tester with Tool into the spark plug hole.
6. With the accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn the ignition
switch to “START” for cranking. When the gauge pointer stabi-
lizes, read the compression pressure and engine rpm. Perform
these steps to check each cylinder.
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2 , psi) /rpm
CAUTION:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain specified engine speed.

If the engine speed is out of the specified range, check the battery liquid for proper gravity. Check the
engine speed again with normal battery gravity.

If the compression pressure is below the minimum value, check the valve clearances and parts associ-
ated with the combustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head,
cylinder head gasket). After checking, measure the compression pressure again.

If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour a small amount of engine oil into the spark plug
hole of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
–If the added engine oil improves the compression, the piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check
the piston rings and replace if necessary.
–If the compression pressure remains at a low level despite the addition of engine oil, the valves may be
malfunctioning. Check the valves for damage. Replace the valve or valve seat accordingly.

If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains
low even after the addition of engine oil, the gaskets may be leaking, or a valve in adjacent cylinders
may be damaged. Inspect and repair as required.
7. Install the components in the reverse order of removal.
8. Start the engine and confirm that it runs smoothly.
9. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-95, "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS" . Tool number : EG15050500 (J-45402)

Revision: October 20052005 QX56

Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.

Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recom-
mended special tools where specified for safe and efficient ser-
vice repairs.

When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems,
check all affected lines for leaks.

Before servicing the vehicle:
Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate cov-
ers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
WA RN ING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes, do not carelessly disconnect the harness
connectors which are related to the engine control system and TCM (transmission control module)
system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
Precautions for Three Way CatalystEAS001F8
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.

Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.

When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when
necessary.

Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to
the catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Precautions for Fuel (Unleaded Regular Gasoline Recommended)EAS001XQ
Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research
octane number 91). E-85 fuel (85% fuel ethanol, 15% unleaded gasoline) may only be used in vehicles specif-
ically designed for E-85 fuel (i.e. Flexible Fuel Vehicle - FFV models.)
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Do not use E-85
fuel (85% fuel ethanol, 15% unleaded gasoline) unless the vehicle is specifically designed for E-85 fuel
(i.e. Flexible Fuel Vehicle - FFV Models). Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect
the emission control devices and systems, and could also affect the warranty coverage validity.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
PRECAUTIONS PFP:00011
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EKS00B7P
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.
General precautions for service operationsEKS00B7Q

Never work with wet hands.

Xenon headlamp includes high voltage generating part. Be sure
to disconnect battery negative cable (negative terminal) or
power fuse before removing, installing, or touching the xenon
headlamp (including lamp bulb).

Turn the lighting switch OFF before disconnecting and connect-
ing the connector.

When turning the xenon headlamp on and while it is illuminated,
never touch the harness, bulb, and socket of the headlamp.

When checking the headlamp on/off operation, check it on vehi-
cle and with the power connected to the vehicle-side connector.

Do not touch the headlamp bulb glass surface with bare hands or allow oil or grease to get on it. Do not
touch the headlamp bulb just after the headlamp is turned off, because it is very hot.

Install the xenon headlamp bulb socket correctly. If it is installed
improperly, high-voltage leak or corona discharge may occur
that can melt the bulb, connector, and housing. Do not illuminate
the xenon headlamp bulb out of the headlamp housing. Doing
so can cause fire and harm your eyes.

When the bulb has burned out, wrap it in a thick vinyl bag and
discard. Do not break the bulb.

Leaving the bulb removed from the headlamp housing for a long
period of time can deteriorate the performance of the lens and
reflector (dirt, clouding). Always prepare a new bulb and have it
on hand when replacing the bulb.

Do not use organic solvent (paint thinner or gasoline) to clean
lamps and to remove old sealant.
