Sound like a used motor is the way to go in your case. |
Thanks for the info, This is exactly what happened to mine... you can see the gasket just blown out in my pictures too... Nissan tech's were unable to find this and i had to go to another mechanic to find the problem. Now Nissan wont cover anything because he was a non Nissan Mechanic who found it...
Some reviews will be had about Nissan of Mentor... also contacting the BBB
