Rod bearing replacement (Update 4)

[Lewis Shadoff]

I used the orange Nissan stuff (P/N 999MP-A7007).  Make sure you follow the
FSM diagram for running the bead of sealant.  Sometimes it goes outside the
bolt hole and sometimes inside.  The bead size is 4-5 mm, the bead should
be in the groove and 7mm clearance around the bolt holes (measured from the
center of the hole).  I did not do a continuous bead, but made sure there
were no gaps when I continued.  Get the pan on within 5 minutes of running
the bead.  I ;et it dry overnight before putting oil in the car.
