How to inspect and prepare a crankshaft for reassembly on Nissan Pathfinder?

Remove all burrs from the crankshaft oil holes with a stone, file or scraper. The oil holes should be chamfered so sharp edges don't gouge or scratch the new bearings. Clean the crankshaft with solvent and dry it with compressed air, if available. Be sure to clean the oil holes with a stiff brush and flush them with solvent. Check the main and connecting rod bearing journals for uneven wear, scoring, pits and cracks. Also, check the rest of the crankshaft for cracks and other damage. It should be magnafluxed to reveal hidden cracks - an automotive machine shop will handle the procedure. Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of the main and connecting rod journals and compare the results to the Specifications. By measuring the diameter at a number of points around each journal's circumference, you'll be able to determine whether or not the journal is out-of-round. Take the measurement at each end of the journal, near the crank throws, to determine if the journal is tapered. If the crankshaft journals are damaged, tapered, out-of-round or worn beyond the limits, have the crankshaft reground by an automotive machine shop. Be sure to use the correct size bearing inserts if the crankshaft is reconditioned. Check the oil seal journals at each end of the crankshaft for wear and damage. If the seal has worn a groove in the journal, or if it's nicked or scratched, the new seal may leak when the engine is reassembled. In some cases, an automotive machine shop may be able to repair the journal by pressing on a thin sleeve. If repair isn't feasible, a new or different crankshaft should be installed. Examine the main and rod bearing inserts.

Nissan Pathfinder Crankshaft

Nissan Pathfinder Crankshaft converts the pistons' up and down motion into the rotational force that eventually turns the gears and wheels, making it the unsung hero of every drive. Inside the block, connecting rods fastened to offset crank throws convert a straight line thrust into a smooth rotation. This can happen only because of a slick oil film and tight bearing clearances. The early and lower output versions had cast iron while later there were higher horsepower trims with forged steel, and the only difference was greater density and resistance to twisting from heavy loads. The Pathfinder line has maintained the same basic Crankshaft design throughout Nissan SUV history, changing out materials and balancing with each engine revision. Both designs are intended to last the lifetime of the vehicle if clean oil protects the journals. However, missed services allow grit to contaminate the oil, which reduces lubrication to the point where surfaces become scored. This leads to widening of clearances, metal to metal contact, and the knock you can feel as rough vibration. Because rocks or debris can even bend a strong Crankshaft, persistent shuddering or rumbles from your engine often indicate that the Crankshaft and main bearings need replacing. The Crankshaft exhibits vigorous toughness but still requires constant attention to ensure each Nissan Pathfinder functions confidently.
