CAMSHAFT
• Using inside micrometer, measure diameter of valve lifter bore of
cylinder head. Refer to EM-247, "Camshaft"
EM-247, "Camshaft".
• If out of the specified range, replace the cylinder head assembly.
Calculation of Valve Lifter Clearance
• (Valve lifter clearance) = (hole diameter for valve li fter) – (outer diameter of valve lifter) Refer to EM-247,
"Camshaft".
• If out of specified range, replace either or both valve lifter and cylinder head assembly.
Inspection after InstallationINFOID:0000000009460570
INSPECTION OF CAMSHAFT SPROCKET (INT) OIL GROOVE
WARNING:
• Check when engine is cold so as to pr event burns from any splashing engine oil.
CAUTION:
• Perform this inspection only when DTC P0011 is detected in self-diagnostic results of CONSULT and
it is directed according to inspection procedure of EC section. Refer to EC-716, "Diagnosis Proce-
dure".
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to MA-26, "ENGINE OIL : Inspection"
.
2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while
checking.
a. Release fuel pressure. Refer to FL-5, "Inspection"
.
b. Disconnect ignition coil and injector harness connectors if practical.
3. Remove intake valve timing control solenoid valve.
4. Crank engine, and then make sure that engine oil comes out from intake valve timing control solenoid valve cover oil hole.
End cranking after checking.
WARNING:
Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive belts, idler pul-
ley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
• Engine oil may squirt from intake valve timing control solenoid valve installation hole during cranking. Use a
shop cloth to prevent engi ne oil from splashing on
worker, engine components and vehicle.
• Do not allow engine oil to get on rubber components such
as drive belts or engine mount insulators. I mmediately wipe off any splashed engine oil.
5. Clean oil groove between oil strainer and intake valve timing control solenoid valve if engine oil does not come out from intake valve timing control solenoid valve cover oil hole.
6. Remove components between intake valve timing c ontrol solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket (INT),
and then check each oil groove for clogging.
• Clean oil groove if necessary.
7. After inspection, installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.

CYLINDER HEAD
1. To remove valve guide, heat cylinder head to 110
° to 130 °C
(230 ° to 266 °F) by soaking in heated oil.
WARNING:
Cylinder head contains heat. When working, wear protective
equipment to avoid getting burned.
2. Drive out the valve guide with a press [under a 20 kN (2.2 US ton) pressure] or hammer and suitable tool.

2. Gently lift an end of the molding using a suitable tool and cut away tape to remove molding.
3. Remove all remaining traces of tape and adhesive.
Installation
• On vehicles coated with Hard Clear Coat, use double-faced 3M® adhesive tape Product No. 4210 or equiv-
alent, after priming with 3M primer Product No. N200 or C-100 or equivalent.
• The repair parts are also attached with double-faced adhesive tape.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951691
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 severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
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 NISS AN/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 three minutes before performing any service.
General PrecautionINFOID:0000000009460597
WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.
• Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in the work area.
• Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and have a CO
2 fire extinguisher.
• Do not smoke while working on the fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work
area.
CAUTION:
• Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures:
- Put drained fuel in an explosi on-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in
safe area.
- Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-182, "Work Procedure"
(QR25DE), EC-687,
"Work Procedure" (VQ35DE).
- Disconnect the battery ground cable.
• Always replace O-rings and clamps with new ones.
• Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.
• Do not tighten hose clamps excessi vely to avoid damaging hoses.
Tighten high-pressure rubber hose clamp so that clamp end
is 3 mm (0.12 in) from hose end.
Tightening torque specificati ons are the same for all rubber
hose clamps.
Ensure that screw does not contact adjacent parts.
