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...
