PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001
A
Precautions for Procedures without Cowl Top Cover NBS003FC

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc. EM

PIIB3706J

E
Precautions for Battery Service NBS003FD

Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interfer-
ence between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, the F
window slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automatic
window function will not work with the battery disconnected.
Precautions for Drain Engine Coolant and Engine Oil NBS00002 G
Drain engine coolant and engine oil when engine is cooled.
Precautions for Disconnecting Fuel Piping NBS00003
H
● Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.
● Release fuel pressure before disconnecting and disassembly.
● After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage. I

Precautions for Removal and Disassembly NBS00004

● When instructed to use special service tools, use specified tools. Always be careful to work safely, avoid J
forceful or uninstructed operations.
● Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.
● Cover openings of engine system with tape or equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials. K
● Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and re-assembly.
● When loosening bolts and nuts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally
opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified. Power tools may be L
used in the step.
Precautions for Inspection, Repair and Replacement NBS00005
M
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precautions for Assembly and Installation NBS00006

● Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.


● When tightening bolts and nuts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the
ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is speci-
fied, do exactly as specified.
● Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
● Dowel pins are used for several parts alignment. When replacing and reassembling with dowel pins, make
sure that dowel pins are installed in the original portion.
● Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check engine oil or engine coolant passages for
any restriction and blockage.
● Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust.
Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.
● Release air within route when refilling after draining engine coolant.

Revision: 2006 November EM-3 2007 350Z


PRECAUTIONS

● After repairing, start engine and increase engine speed to check engine coolant, fuel, engine oil, and
exhaust gases for leakage.
Parts Requiring Angle Tightening NBS00007

● Use angle wrench [SST: KV10112100 (BT8653-A)] for the final tightening of the following engine parts:
– Cylinder head bolts
– Lower cylinder block bolts
– Connecting rod cap bolts
● Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
● The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
● Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.
Precautions for Liquid Gasket NBS00008

REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING


● After removing mounting bolts and nuts, separate the mating
surface using seal cutter (SST) and remove old liquid gasket
sealing.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
● Tap seal cutter to insert it, and then slide it by tapping on the
side as shown in the figure.
● In areas where seal cutter (SST) is difficult to use, use plastic
hammer to lightly tap the parts, to remove it.
CAUTION: PBIC0002E
If for some unavoidable reason tool such as screwdriver is
used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using scraper, remove old liquid gasket adhering to the gasket
application surface and the mating surface.
● Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the gas-
ket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating sur-
face with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove
adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.

PBIC0003E

3. Attach liquid gasket tube to tube presser [SST: WS39930000


( — )].
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-45, "RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND
SEALANTS" .
4. Apply liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location with
the specified dimensions.
● If there is a groove for liquid gasket application, apply liquid
gasket to the groove.

EMA0622D

Revision: 2006 November EM-4 2007 350Z


PRECAUTIONS

● As for bolt holes, normally apply liquid gasket inside the


holes. Occasionally, it should be applied outside the holes. A
Make sure to read the text of this manual.
● Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component. EM
● If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.

● Do not retighten mounting bolts or nuts after the installation.

● After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill C


engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION: SEM159F
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe D
them.

The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.
● Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" . EM
● 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
leakage at connection points. C
– Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
● Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
D
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal/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. E
● Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.
● Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system. F
● After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.

Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.
● Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "RECOMMENDED 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
leakage at connection points.
– 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 drops after removal/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 leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.

If the engine speed is out of specified range, check battery liquid for proper gravity. Check engine

speed again with normal battery gravity.
● If compression pressure is below minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated with
combustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder head
gasket). After the checking, measure compression pressure again.
● If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour small amount of engine oil into the spark plug
hole of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
– If the added engine oil improves the compression, piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check the
piston rings and replace if necessary.
– If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, valves may be mal-
functioning. Check valves for damage. Replace valve or valve seat accordingly.
● If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains
low even after the addition of engine oil, cylinder head gaskets are leaking. In such a case, replace cyl-
inder head gaskets.
