Was the motor opened up before all this happen? Especially the heads. +1 on the oil pressure gauge question. I currently run one myself.

Will answer some of these questions when I have more info
Separate topic... front camber adjustment... I talked with Jay at Ground Control... I told him we need another option in addition to the SPC front upper control arms for camber adjustment on this car... he's looking at it - no promises... if anyone wants to encourage Mr. Jay, give him a call at 530-677-8600 |

Refresh me, what's the issue with the SPC front upper control arms? I'm just now getting to the point where I might care with some new coilovers (having finally found some real limitations on the stock suspension that I'm unhappy with).

^ exactly... and tough to make adjustments at the track given placement of the tensioner/fastener
So, here are the pics Some scoring along the cylinders Two deep gauges where the bearing spun and dug into the lower block Visible damage to crank Easier to see in person... Tool marks on the heads indicating that they may have been tightened to a non-OEM level of torque... note that this could have happened when the engine was installed as a "new engine" by a dealership in Phoenix, or anytime thereafter... it would not be appropriate for anyone to further speculate... thanks! I am providing these photos simply as a reminder that according to Nissan these should not be adjusted outside the factory... which is open for discussion Last edited by travisjb; 02-24-2012 at 06:38 PM. |

I found an engine out of an '09 G37 with 35K miles that will include a 6 mo warranty for ~$3,500... if anyone knows of a better deal, please speak up - otherwise I will buy it Monday
The damaged engine will eventually become a spare, assuming it is repairable |

Unrelated / FYI... over on my Tundra forum, found this thread covering a 5.7L TRD Supercharged engine conversion for a SC430 drift car... apparently the World Racing 2,200 hp car is based upon a Tundra 5.7 as well... enjoy TRD Supercharged Tundra 5.7 Lexus SC430 - TundraTalk.net - Toyota Tundra Discussion Forum
