• Remove oil and dust on the crankshaft pin and surfaces of eachbearing completely.
• Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place
it in the crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.
• Install the connecting rod beari ngs to the connecting rod and con-
necting rod bearing cap, and tighten the connecting rod bolts to the
specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft with plastigage installed.
• Remove the connecting rod bear ing cap and bearings. Measure
the plastigage width using the scale on the plastigage bag.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the repair limit is the same as that described in “Method
of Measurement”.
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method of Measurement
• Install the main bearings to the cylinder block and main bearing cap. Measure the main bearing inside diameter with the bearing
cap bolts tightened to the specified torque. Refer to EM-83, "
Disas-
sembly and Assembly".
(Oil clearance) = (Inside diameter of main bearing) – (Crankshaft
journal diameter)
• If measured value exceeds the repair limit, select main bearings referring to the main bearing inside diame-
ter and crankshaft journal diameter, so that the oil clearance satisfies the standard. Refer to EM-101, "
How
to Select Piston and Bearing".
Method of Using Plastigage
• Remove oil and dust on the crankshaft journal and surfaces of
each bearing completely.
• Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.
• Install the main bearings to the cylinder block and main bearing cap, and tighten the main bearing bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft with plastigage installed.
• Remove bearing cap and bearings. Measure plastigage width using the scale on the plastigage bag.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the repair limit
is the same as that descri bed in “Method of Measurement”.

How to Select Piston and BearingINFOID:0000000005149017
DESCRIPTION
*For the service parts, the grade for fitting cannot be selected between a piston pin and a connecting rod.
(Only 0 grade is available.) The information at the sh
ipment from the plant is described as a reference.
• The identification grade stamped on each part is the grade for the dimension measured in new condition.
This grade cannot apply to reused parts.
• For reused or repaired parts, measure the dimens ion accurately. Determine the grade by comparing the
measurement with the values of each selection table.
• For details of the measurement method of each part , the reuse standards, and the selection method of the
selective fitting parts, follow the applicable procedures.
HOW TO SELECT PISTON
Piston Selective Fitting When New Cylinder Block is Used:
• Check the cylinder bore grade on the bottom face of the cylinder
block, and select the piston of the same grade.

HOW TO SELECT PISTON AND BEARING
When Cylinder Block is Reused
1. Measure cylinder block bore diameter.
2. Determine the bore grade by comparing the measurement with the values under the “Cylinder bore diam-
eter” of the piston selection table.
Piston Selection Table
Unit: mm (in)
NOTE:
• The piston is available together with piston pin as an assembly.
• The piston pin (piston pin bore) grade is provided only for the parts installed at the plant. For service parts, no grades can be selected (only 0 grade is available).
HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING
When New Connecting Rod and Crankshaft are Used
1. Apply the big end inside diameter grade stamped on the con-
necting rod side face to the row in the “Connecting Rod Bearing
Selection Table”.
2. Apply the pin diameter grade stamped on the crankshaft front side to the column in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection
Table”.
3. Read the symbol at the cross point of the selected row and col-
umn in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table".
4. Apply the symbol obtained to the "Connecting Rod Bearing Grade Table" to select.
When Crankshaft and Connecting Rod are Reused
1. Measure dimensions of the big end inside diameter of the connecting rod and diameter of the crankshaftpin individually.
2. Apply the measured dimension to the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table”.
3. The following steps are the same as in “When New Connecting Rod and Crankshaft are Used”.

(US) bearings.
• When using undersize bearing, measure the bearing inside diameter with the bearing installed, and grind the
crankshaft pin so that the oil clearance satisfies the standard.

HOW TO SELECT PISTON AND BEARING
2. Apply the journal diameter grade on the crankshaft front to thecolumn in "Main Bearings Selection Table".
3. Read the symbol at the cross point of the selected row and column in the "Main Bearings Selection Table".
CAUTION:
• Initial clearance for No. 1, 5 journal and No. 2, 3, 4 journal is different. Use two different selection
lists for each part.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005260138
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR 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 w hether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, 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 performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery, and wait at least 3 minu tes before performing any service.
Precaution Necessary for Steering W heel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000005260139
NOTE:
• This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYS-
TEM).
• Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob in the
″LOCK ″ position.
• Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NATS, an electrically controlled steering lock mech-
anism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery pow er is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables. NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC ″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
