I do have a place to store... what would be some good parts that you think i could recoup some of the funds?

Looks like the same gasket that commonly fails on the 5th gen Altima 3.5. For me, it was the gasket behind the timing chain cover. It's built into the cover, so the cover had to be replaced. Mine went out around 80k miles. My extended warranty covered new chains, tensioners, cover with gasket and water pump. Fortunately for me, it only caused a slight ticking noise at start up and no damage was done.

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

Motor has arrived... Installation process to begin!

kholy · 02-18-2015, 11:10 PM

I've also officially filed my complaint with the BBB... hopefully they can be of some help... I'd at least like to get the money Nissan of Mentor stole from me to tell me absolutely nothing...
