That is a spectacular break in failure -- again, I highly doubt its due to anything you specifically did (and could have also been due to a test drive by someone else as well as build failure), but just wondering how you broke it in...
I drove it semi-hard. Not anything crazy though, typically with my other new cares I baby them until a few thousand miles. Drove this one hard and the head gasket cracked !

As much as I would like a new long block a properly rebuilt engine is just as good if not better than new. Question is if the dealership is capable of rebuilding correctly. They told me they were involving nissan technical services in this case to ensure every proper and necessary action is taken.
