Nissan Terrano r20e. Manual - part 301
Parts Requiring Angular Tightening
I
Some important engine parts are tightened using an angular-
tightening method rather than a torque setting method.
I
If these parts are tightened using a torque setting method, dis-
persal of the tightening force (axial bolt force) will be two or
three times that of the dispersal produced by using the correct
angular-tightening method.
I
Although the torque setting values (described in this manual)
are equivalent to those used when bolts and nuts are tightened
with an angular-tightening method, they should be used for
reference only.
I
To assure the satisfactory maintenance of the engine, bolts and
nuts must be tightened using an angular-tightening method.
I
Before tightening the bolts and nuts, ensure that the thread and
seating surfaces are clean and then coated with engine oil.
I
The bolts and nuts which require the angular-tightening method
are as follows:
(1) Cylinder head bolts
(2) Connecting rod cap nuts
Liquid Gasket Application Procedure
a. Before applying liquid gasket, use a scraper to remove all
traces of old liquid gasket from mating surface and
grooves, and then completely clean any oil stains from
these portions.
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating sur-
faces. (Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.)
I
Be sure liquid gasket is 3.5 to 4.5 mm (0.138 to 0.177 in)
wide (oil pan).
I
Be sure liquid gasket is 2.0 to 3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in)
wide (in areas except oil pan).
c. Apply liquid gasket to inner surface around hole perimeter.
(Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.)
d. Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling engine oil and
engine coolant.
