Either way, as long as the prior steps are correct and the rotor points to the #1 plug wire, you're good. If I recall correctly, the rotor will point more aft than mine as the #1 plug wire is slightly closer to 2 or 3 o'clock on the earlier trucks. I believe that the location of the plug wires and the clocking of the distributor is slightly different on the 96-97. If it's not lined up on the #1 spark plug wire and you can't rotate the distributor enough to line it up with distributor mounting bolts installed, it won't be able to fire at the right time. You can then drop the distributor in and see if the rotor will point to the #1 cylinder spark plug. With the engine set to TDC on the compression stroke, the spindle should look like this. Make sure the exhaust valve is not open, this would happen on the exhaust stroke and the piston would be at TDC. Rotate the crank over to 0 and make sure you have the #1 cylinder on the compression stroke. The second mark from the left is 0 degrees TDC. per miles)Ĥ.2-4.9 kg/cm 2 (49.8-56.Right now you have the pointer lined up with the 5 degrees BTDC mark on the crank pulley. Head tightening procedure and torque specs: The tension of the chain is controlled by a chain tensioner which is operated by spring and oil pressure. The camshaft is driven by a single row roller chain driven by the crankshaft. For this engine, redline is lowered to 6,000 rpm. The Nissan KA24E engine version for SUV uses a camshaft with duration 232°/232°, and valve lift 9.7/9.7 mm. The KA24E rev limiter is set on 6,500 rpm. The intake valve duration is 240°, valve lift is 10.4 mm (0.409 in) the exhaust valve duration is 248°, valve lift is 10.4 mm (0.409 in). Intake valves are 34.0 mm (1.34 in) in diameter and the exhaust valves are 40.0 mm (1.57 in). The Nissan KA24E motor use three valves per cylinder (two intake valves and single exhaust valve) and the dual type valve springs. The valve system has a pivot type rocker arm that is activated directly by the cam mechanism. The cylinder head is made of aluminum alloy. lbįlywheel (M/T) or Drive plate (A/T) fixing bolts.lb in two-three stagesĪfter securing bearing cap bolts, make sure crankshaft turns smoothly by hand.Main bearing beam bolts tightening procedure and torque specs: Number of piston rings (compression / oil): The KA24E engine cylinder bore is 89.0 mm (3.5 in) and the piston stroke is 96 mm (3.78 in), compression ratio rating is 8.6:1 or 9.1:1. The Nissan KA24E motor has a cast-iron cylinder block, cast steel connecting rods, a half-counterweighted forged steel crankshaft.
