ENGINE ASSEMBLY
35. Separate the engine and the transaxle and mount the engine on a suitable engine stand. Refer to
AT-233
(A/T models), CVT-180, "Removal and Installation" (CVT models) or MT-61, "Removal and Installation"
(M/T models).
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Note the following during installation:
• When installation directions are specified, install parts according to the directions. Refer to EM-197, "
Com-
ponent".
• Do not allow engine oil to get on engine mounting insulator. Be careful not to damage engine mounting insu-
lator.
• Prior to installing the upper torque rod, apply a light coat of silicone lubricant (A) to the washer facing side of the bushing inner tube as
shown.
NOTE:
• Apply silicone lubricant (A) by dabbing the outward facing tubesurface with a sponge or suitable tool.
• Do not apply excess lubricant.
• Make sure that each mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten nuts and bolts.
• Tighten engine mounting insulator (RH) bolts in the numerical order shown.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels incl uding engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-14, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• 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, che ck again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec- ified level, if necessary.

• Never remove signal plate unless it is necessary to do so.
22. Pull rear oil seal out from rear end of crankshaft.
23. Remove main bearings and thrust bearings from cylinder block and main bearing caps.
CAUTION:
Identify installation position s, and store them without mix-
ing them up.
ASSEMBLY
1. Fully air-blow engine coolant and engine oil passages in cylinder block, cylinder bore and crankcase to
remove any foreign material.
WARNING:
Use goggles to protect your eyes.
2. Install water drain plug (1) to cylinder block.
• Apply liquid gasket to the drain plug thread.
Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-42, "
Recommended Chemical Product and Sealant".
3. Remove dust, dirt, and engine oil on the bearing mating sur- faces of cylinder block and main bearing cap.
4. Install thrust bearings to both sides of the No. 3 journal housing (B) on cylinder block.
• Install thrust bearings with the oil groove (A) facing crankshaftarm (outside).
5. Install the main bearings paying attention to the direction. CAUTION:
• Before installing main bearings, apply new engi ne oil to the bearing surface (inside). Do not

Connecting Rod Bushing Oil Clearance
(Connecting rod bushing oil clearance) = (Connecting rod bus hing inner diameter) – (Piston pin outer diame-
ter)
• If the measured value is out of the standard, repl ace connecting rod assembly and/or piston and piston pin
assembly.
• If replacing piston and piston pin assembly, follow t he "PISTON TO PISTON PIN OIL CLEARANCE" proce-
dure.
• If replacing connecting rod assembly, follow the "Connecting Rod Bushing Oil Clearance" procedure to select connecting rod bearing.
CYLINDER BLOCK TOP SURFACE DISTORTION
• Using a scraper, remove gasket on the cylinder block surface, and also remove engine oil, scale, carbon, or
other contamination.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow gasket flakes to en ter engine oil or engine coolant passages.
• Measure the distortion on the cylinder block upper face at some
different points in six directions with a straight edge (A) and feeler
gauge (B).
• If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder block.
MAIN BEARING HOUSING INNER DIAMETER
• Install main bearing cap without main bearings insta lled, and tighten main bearing cap bolts to the specified
torque. Refer to EM-203, "
Disassembly and Assembly" for the tightening procedure.
• Measure the inner diameter of main bearing housing with a bore gauge.
• Measure the position shown [5 mm (0.20 in)] backward from main bearing housing front side in the 2 directions as shown. The
smaller one is the measured value.
• If out of the standard, replace cylinder block and main bearing caps assembly.

5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage).
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of al l control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000005930893
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield.
General PrecautionsINFOID:0000000005930894
• When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening mu st be carried out under unladen conditions with tires
on ground. Oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and l ubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
• After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.
• Self-lock nuts are not reusable. A lways use new ones when installing.

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceINFOID:0000000005930898
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are normal.
INSPECTION OF LOWER BALL JOINT END PLAY
1. Set front wheels in a straight-ahead position. Do not depress brake pedal.
2. Place an iron bar or similar tool between transverse link and steering knuckle.
3. Measure axial end play by prying it up and down.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot. Do not damage the installation position by applying
excessive force.
STRUT INSPECTION
Check for oil leakage, damage and replace as necessary.
Wheel Alignment InspectionINFOID:0000000005930899
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WARNING:
Always adjust the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface.
NOTE:
If alignment is out of specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear suspension parts before
making any adjustments.
1. Check and adjust the wheel alignment with the vehicle under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions”
means that the fuel, coolant, and lubricant are full; and that the spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in
their designated positions.
2. Check the tires for incorrect air pressure and excessive wear.
3. Check the wheels for run out and damage. Refer to WT-6, "
Inspection".
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FAX-6, "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Service".
5. Check the shock absorbers for leaks or damage.
6. Check each mounting point of the suspension components for any excessive looseness or damage.
7. Check each link, arm, and the suspension member for any damage.
8. Check the vehicle height. Refer to FSU-19, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*)".
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed.
• This type of alignment is re commended for any NISSAN vehicle.
• The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel
is centered.
• The alignment machine itself should be ca pable of accepting any NISSAN vehicle.
• The alignment machine should be checked to ensure that it is level.
2. Make sure the alignment machine is properly calibrated. • Your alignment machine should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.
• Check with the manufacturer of your specific a lignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to FSU-17, "Wheel
Alignment (Unladen*)".
1. When displaying the alignment settings, many alignm ent machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.
• The alignment specifications programmed into your alignment machine that operate these indicators may not be correct.Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
