It doesn't like your PDF. Is this just a ordinary PDF?

Edit: It appears as though there is some kind of file security (FileOpen) on this file.

Yep, there is security as I caught it at the firewall...when it hit it. ;)

I think it's prudent to wait. That's what I plan to do. Now that the TSB's out, there's no reason not to.

...and hopefully my dealer will have swapped 50 long blocks before they ever attempt mine.

From what I understand, dealers are now instructed to do Short Blocks. I never asked what it would take for the dealers to do long blocks.

Far greater chance of an assembly screw up or contamination with a short block swap. Be afraid. The Nissan techs are not engine builders and may not follow all the industry assembly procedures. If your engine fails demand a long block.

agreed, you're the consumer, you've got a right to demand a new motor in full if your car is under warranty... I fully agree. force the issue.

I finally got a call from the dealer saying that they have the parts for the short block change on my engine. I only have 10,000 miles I can't believe it. I hope they do a good job. There is something that does not make sense to me a new $40,000 dollar car with this issue.

Did you ask for a long block? Or Nissan only allow short blocks nowadays?

i take great offense to this statement...i am a nissan tech, tomorrow i will be performing the oil consumption bulletin on an o6 350z... i follow all guidelines and torque specs that nissan has provided in the service manual... as for nissan and the short block instead of a long block.. the bulletin specifically states if the vehicle fails oil consumption test it gets a short block and full gasket set, and honestly i think the only way to get a long block would be to complain to nissan directly, the dealer really doesn't have any say, because there is a specific billetin for the problem...
WarmAndSCSI sorry for the delay with getting the bulletin pdf uploaded.. was swamped today with two pathy timing chain tensioners... lol to add to another long day 350z short block lol i love my job...
