Sorry to hear that. Makes me nervous about when I have to rebuild. I have 227,000 miles on mine. I know the time will come.

My advice is you get what u pay for. I had a friend who insisted he knew what he was doing and could keep the cost down. you wont get by for anything under 4. and certainly not a warranty. make sure they use Nissan approved break-in oil. I would consider a low mileage engine as an alternative. the problem I originally encountered was letting it run hot. its not that I blew gaskets, or fried the engine from lack of oil. per se.
during teardown the first time, it was found that I had a severe case of oil coking (oil formed shellac). generally this occurs from too hot oil, sitting in one spot, or the use of inferior oil. I am guilty of not using a top line oil. (atleast in aviation, this is how it occurs) (in many cases from not utilizing a cool down period after intense use). I don't know if s/c engines benefit or need one or not.
(as a last note, since I wasn't present during the reconditioning of the block the first time, I really have no idea if all the oil passages were cleaned out :(

Well. Hopefully this makes someone's day. I have got to sell my x and get it off the property by this Sunday. So my lowest price is now $1400. See the post above for details and pictures. If I did this post incorrectly again, I apologize. I am still learning. Mike
