Yep, I bought from a dealership owner, they specialize in Nissan and Datsun restorations car fax shows maintenance as required so I continued it. Only put 5000 miles on it. Just sucks, loved the car, other than that it’s in immaculate condition inside and out. Just as you would see on showroom floor.

Fortunately I can work on cars have experience with engine swaps and builds. This was the only car I wanted to leave stock and not touch a thing to prevent this exact situation 😂 so can anyone direct me to a thread of ins and outs of engine removal and installation? Anything I should know before buying a used engine? Thanks for input, you guys are awesome!
