Check For Engine Damage

CAUTION: This engine has been identified as an INTERFERENCE engine in which the possibility of valve-to-piston damage in the event of a timing belt failure is MOST LIKELY to occur. A compression check of all cylinders should be performed before removing the cylinder head(s).

Repair Times – hrs

No information available.

Special Tools

• Crankshaft timing pin – Nissan No.KV113B0130 (No.Mot.1489).
• Camshaft timing pin – Nissan No.KV113B0110 (No.Mot.1430).

Special Precautions

• Disconnect battery earth lead.
• DO NOT turn crankshaft or camshaft when timing belt removed.
• Remove glow plugs to ease turning engine.
• Turn engine in normal direction of rotation (unless otherwise stated).
• DO NOT turn engine via camshaft or other sprockets.
• Observe all tightening torques.

Removal

NOTE: If timing belt has failed, it is possible that the camshaft sprocket key has been damaged which would cause incorrect valve timing.

1. Raise and support front of vehicle.
2. Remove:
   • Engine undershield.
   • RH front wheel.
   • Note: RH headlamp.
   • RH wheel arch liner.
   • Engine top cover.
   • Auxiliary drive belt. DO NOT reuse belt.
   • Auxiliary drive belt tensioner.
3. Support engine.
4. Remove:
   • RH engine tie-bar.
   • RH engine mounting.
   • RH engine mounting intermediate bracket.
   • Note: Coolant expansion tank. DO NOT disconnect hoses.
   • Timing belt upper cover [1] .
   • Camshaft position (CMP) sensor (if fitted) [2] .
   • RH engine mounting bracket.
   • Timing belt lower cover [3] .
   • Blanking plug from cylinder block [4] .
5. Turn crankshaft clockwise until timing pin locating hole on camshaft sprocket almost aligned with hole in cylinder head [5] .
6. Insert crankshaft timing pin [6] . Tool No.KV113B0130 (No.Mot.1489).
7. Turn crankshaft slightly until crankshaft web stops against timing pin [6] .
8. Insert camshaft timing pin [7] . Tool No.KV113B0110 (No.Mot.1430).
9. Remove:
