b. Push in chain tensioner plunger. Insert a stopper pin into hole on
chain tensioner body to secure chain tensioner plunger and
remove chain tensioner.
NOTE:
Use approximately 0.5 mm (0.02 in) dia. hard metal pin as a
stopper pin.
c. Secure hexagonal part of camshaft with a wrench. Loosen cam-
shaft sprocket mounting bolts and remove camshaft sprockets.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft or camshaft while timing chain is
removed. It causes interference between valve and piston.
NOTE:
Chain tension holding work is not necessary. Crankshaft
sprocket and timing chain do not disconnect structurally while
front cover is attached.
8. Remove camshaft position sensor (PHASE) from cylinder head back side.
CAUTION:
Handle carefully to avoid dropping and shocks.
Do not disassemble.
Do not allow metal powder to adhere to magnetic part at sensor tip.
Do not place sensor in a location where it is exposed to magnetism.
9. Loosen mounting bolts in reverse order as shown in the figure,
and remove camshaft brackets and camshafts.
Remove camshaft bracket (No. 1) by slightly tapping it with a
plastic hammer.
10. Remove valve lifters.
Identify installation positions, and store them without mixing them up.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Camshaft Runout
1. Put V-block on a precise flat table, and support No. 2 and 5 jour-
nal of camshaft.
CAUTION:
Do not support No. 1 journal (on the side of camshaft
sprocket) because it has a different diameter from the other
four locations.
2. Set dial indicator vertically to No. 3 journal.
3. Turn camshaft to one direction with hands, and measure the
camshaft runout on dial indicator. (Total indicator reading)

ward/backward (in direction to axis).
Measure the following parts if out of the standard.
–Dimension “A” for camshaft No. 1 journal

CRANKSHAFT PIN JOURNAL DIAMETER
Measure the outer diameter of crankshaft pin journal with a micrometer.
If out of the standard, measure the connecting rod bearing oil clearance. Then use undersize bearing.
Refer to EM-113, "
CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" .
OUT-OF-ROUND AND TAPER OF CRANKSHAFT
Measure the dimensions at four different points as shown in the
figure on each main journal and pin journal with a micrometer.
Out-of-round is indicated by the difference in dimensions
between “X” and “Y” at “A” and “B”.
Taper is indicated by the difference in dimension between “A”
and “B” at “X” and “Y”.
If the measured value exceeds the limit, correct or replace crankshaft.
If corrected, measure the bearing oil clearance of the corrected main journal and/or pin journal. Then
select main bearing and/or connecting rod bearing. Refer to EM-114, "
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEAR-
ANCE" and/or EM-113, "CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" .
CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT

the both end of the crankshaft.
Place a dial indicator straight up on the No. 3 journal.
While rotating crankshaft, read the movement of the pointer on
the dial indicator. (Total indicator reading)
If it exceeds the limit, replace crankshaft.
CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by Calculation
Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and cap, and tighten connecting rod bolts to the speci-
fied torque. Refer to EM-94, "
ASSEMBLY" for tightening procedure.
Measure the inner diameter of connecting rod bearing with an
inside micrometer.
(Bearing oil clearance) = (Connecting rod bearing inner diame-
ter) – (Crankshaft pin journal diameter)
If clearance exceeds the limit, select proper connecting rod
bearing according to connecting rod big end diameter and
crankshaft pin journal diameter to obtain specified bearing oil
clearance. Refer to EM-100, "
HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING
ROD BEARING" .

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EBS010L0
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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
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.
On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System of Engine and A/TEBS010L1
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator (MI) to warn the driver of
a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery ground cable before any repair
or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid valves, etc. will
cause the MI to light up.
Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MI to light up due to the open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
Certain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use a new style slide-
locking type harness connector. For description and how to disconnect, refer to PG-74, "
HAR-
NESS CONNECTOR" .
Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. The interference of the harness
with a bracket, etc. may cause the MI to light up due to the short circuit.
Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MI to light up due to the malfunction of the fuel injection system, etc.
Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the ECM and
TCM (Transmission control module) before returning the vehicle to the customer.
PrecautionEBS010L2
Always use a 12 volt battery as power source.
Do not attempt to disconnect battery cables while engine is
running.
Before connecting or disconnecting the ECM harness con-
nector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect battery
ground cable. Failure to do so may damage the ECM
because battery voltage is applied to ECM even if ignition
switch is turned OFF.
Before removing parts, turn ignition switch OFF and then
disconnect battery ground cable.
