• Fuel tube and fuel injector assembly; Refer to EM-33.
• Front cover, timing chain and related parts; Refer to EM-37
.
7. Remove camshaft position sensor (PHASE) from camshaft bracket.
CAUTION:
• Handle carefully to avoid dropping and shocks.
• Never disassemble.
• Never allow metal powder to adhere to magnetic part at sensor tip.
• Never place sensor in a location where it is exposed to magnetism.
8. Put the matching mark (A) on the camshaft sprocket (INT) (2)
and the camshaft bracket (1) as shown.

with the incorrect pin hole when installing the camshaft sprocket
(INT).
9. Remove camshaft sprockets (INT) (1) and (EXH) (2).
• Secure hexagonal part (A) of camshaft with a wrench. Loosen
camshaft sprocket bolts and remove camshaft sprocket.
CAUTION:
• Never rotate crankshaft or camshaft while timing chain
is removed. It causes interference between valve and
piston.
• Never loosen the bolts with securing anything other
than the camshaft hexagonal part or with tensioning the
timing chain.
10. Loosen bolts in reverse order as shown.
11. Cut liquid gasket by prying the position ( ) shown, and then
remove the camshaft bracket.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage the mating surface.
• A more adhesive liquid gasket is applied compared to pre-
vious types when shipped, so it should not be forced off
the position not specified.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak.
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to GI-42, "
Recommended Chemical Product and Sealant".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
- Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-
age at connection points.
- Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in the guide may
generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop after
hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, or any oil/fluids including engine oil and
engine coolant.
• Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.
Summary of the inspection items:
* Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.
Inspection of Camshaft Sprocket (INT) Oil Groove
CAUTION:
• Perform this inspection only when DTC P0011 is detected in self-diagnostic results of CONSULT-III
and it is directed according to inspection procedure of EC section. Refer to EC-46
.
• Check when engine is cold so as to prevent burns from the splashing engine oil.
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-6, "
Inspection".
2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while
checking.
a. Remove intake manifold. Refer to EM-18, "
Component".
b. Disconnect ignition coil and injector harness connectors.
3. Remove intake valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to EM-37, "
Component".

• Be sure to use genuine NISSAN exhaust system parts or equivalents which are specially designed
for heat resistance, corrosion resistance and shape.
• Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully cooled down because the system will be hot
just after the engine stops.
• Be careful not to cut your hand on heat insulator edge.
1. Disconnect harness connector of heated oxygen sensor 2.
• Using Tool, remove heated oxygen sensor 2.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage heated oxygen sensor 2.
a.2. Disconnect each joint and mounting rubber.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Always replace exhaust gaskets and seal bearings with new ones when installing.
• Discard any heated oxygen sensor 2 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; use a new one.
• Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor 2, clean exhaust system threads using the heated oxy-
gen sensor thread cleaner and apply anti-seize lubricant (commercial service tool).
• Do not over tighten heated oxygen sensor 2. Doing so may cause damage to the heated oxygen sen-
sor 2, resulting in the “MIL” coming on.
• Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid
exhaust leakage.
• Temporarily tighten nuts on the exhaust manifold side and bolts on the vehicle side. Check each part
for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.
• When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/left
directions.
Exhaust Manifold to Exhaust Front Tube
1. Securely insert seal bearing (2) into exhaust manifold (1) side in
the direction shown.
• Exhaust front tube (5)
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage seal bearing surface when install-
ing.
2. Install spring (3), tighten nut (4).
• Be careful that the stud bolt nut does not interfere with the
flanged area ( ).
• Make sure the spring (3) sits properly on the flange surface by
aligning it to the locator dimples.
Exhaust Front Tube to Center Muffler
1. Securely insert seal bearing (2) into exhaust front tube (1) side
in the direction shown.
• Center muffler (5)
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage seal bearing surface when install-
ing.
2. With spring (3), tighten bolt (4).
• Be careful that the stud bolt does not interfere with the flanged
area ( ).
• Make sure the spring (3) sits properly on the flange surface by
aligning it to the locator dimples.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• With the engine running, check exhaust tube joints for exhaust leakage and unusual noise.
• Check to ensure that brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue stress.
Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration.Tool number : KV10114400 (J-38365)
