In both
cylinder head designs, oil is pumped up from the sump and onto valve springs and
camshaft journals to keep valve train components cool and lubricated.
The 4.0 - liter V6
design includes a Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS), Nissan variable Induction Control System (NICS), silent timing chain, microfinished
camshaft and crankshaft surfaces, Teflon ® - coated pistons, resin intake manifold, forged crankshaft, digital knock control system, high capacity muffler and lightweight aluminum block and
cylinder heads.
Dual in - block balance shafts were integral to the
design, the power - steering pump was mounted directly to the
cylinder head and driven by the intake
camshaft, the water - pump housing was cast into the block, and the A / C compressor and alternator were mounted directly on the block without brackets.
It switched to the higher - strength Gen II block and received a revised
cylinder head (enlarged exhaust ports) and
camshaft design (increased exhaust valve duration).
The LAP is a 2.2 L — 2,198 cc (134.1 cu in)-- version of the Ecotec, based on the Gen II block with
cylinder head improvements, new
camshaft design, E37 engine control module, 58X crankshaft reluctor ring, dual variable valve timing, digital crank and cam sensors, individual coil - on - plug ignition, vented starter solenoid, new MAP sensor, new intake manifold seals, new oil filter element, a 32 - bit computer, and improved emissions performance.
