WARNING:
• Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
• For engines not equipped with en gine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts as described in the
NISSAN Parts Catalog.
• Do not start working until exhau st system and coolant are cool.
CAUTION:
• If items or work required are not covered by the en gine main body section, follow the applicable pro-
cedures.
• Use the correct supporting points for lifting and jacking. Refer to GI-33, "Garage Jack and Safety
Stand".
• In removing the drive shafts, be careful not to damage any transaxle grease seals.
• Before separating the engine and transaxle, remove the crankshaft position sensor (POS).

• 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 dr ops after removal and 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 leak age 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.
