Featuring an exact 1598cc displacement, this Nissan Versa HR16DE Remanufactured Engine features casting ED0 block architecture and casting EE0 cylinder heads. Machinists line-hone the aluminum crankcase and micro-polish crankshaft journals. Technicians must conduct complete cooling system vacuum bleeding and perform an exact 500-mile break-in oil change to protect the variable timing cam sprockets from debris.

Cast with HR16DE and ED0 block markings, the open-deck die-cast aluminum block features thin-wall cast iron liners for superior heat dissipation. The rotating foundation features a micro-polished forged steel crankshaft casting EE0, forged connecting rods, and molybdenum-coated hypereutectic pistons. Cylinder head casting EE0 houses camshafts marked EE0-BC2. Engine dry weight measures 230 lbs inside crated dimensions of 36in length by 36in width by 36in height. Engine oil sump capacity holds 3.2 quarts.

Key Features of Nissan HR16DE

Independent repair shop owners buy Nissan HR16DE remanufactured engine assemblies to eliminate severe piston slap and restore strict emission compliance. This long block replacement provides verified factory-grade tolerances for front-wheel-drive subcompact commuter automobiles.

- Camshafts stamped EE0-BC2 operate within CNC-machined cam journals to maintain smooth valvetrain actuation.
- Diamond plateau honed cylinder sleeves provide an Ra 15 micro-inch finish for immediate piston ring seating.
- Crankshaft casting EE0 journals undergo micro-polishing to achieve total runout under 0.0003in TIR.
- Cylinder head casting EE0 receives multi-angle valve seat cutting to maintain uniform combustion compression.
- Multi-layer steel head gaskets ensure positive combustion chamber seals under high engine temperatures.
- Align-honed aluminum main bearing saddles preserve circularity to support hydrodynamic bearing oil films.
- High-tensile cylinder head bolts supply uniform clamp loads across the aluminum engine block deck.

Dyno Load Operational Tolerances Specifications

Dyno cell spin testing verifies mechanical oil gallery pressures and rotating assembly balance before crate packing. The 1.6L 1598cc DOHC engine produces 107 HP at 6,000 RPM and 107 ft-lbs of shaft torque at 4,400 RPM. Main journal oil clearance spans 0.0010in to 0.0014in, while connecting rod clearance maintains 0.0011in to 0.0015in. Individual cylinder compression verifies at 185 PSI across all 4 chambers. Hot oil pressure maintains 55 PSI at 3,000 RPM with regulated coolant temperatures stabilizing at 190°F.

Vehicle Fitment Drivetrain Guide

This remanufactured engine fits 2009 to 2011 Nissan Versa subcompact sedans and hatchbacks equipped with the 1.6L 1598cc DOHC HR16DE engine. Compatible drivetrains include front-wheel-drive configurations paired with 5-Speed manual or 4-Speed automatic transaxles. Explicit exclusions prohibit use in motorhome applications, 1.8L MR18DE Versa models, or subsequent 2nd-generation dual-injector Versa chassis due to divergent fuel rail mounting brackets, intake ports, and variable valve timing electronics.

Installation Protocol Service Requirements

Technicians must complete an electronic throttle relearn procedure and torque front exhaust flex pipe bolts during chassis installation. Operating warnings explicitly prohibit installation in motorhomes, commercial transport vehicles exceeding gross weight limits, or custom turbo installations exceeding 6 PSI boost.

- Pre-fill the oil filter and prime the lubrication system with 5W-30 motor oil before starting.
- Drain initial break-in oil and install a replacement oil filter at the 500-mile maintenance marker.
- Check radiator cooling fan operation and inspect intake manifold bolts at the 1,500-mile inspection mark.
