Need new motor options

Put a long block in it. A short block may work if the heads are OK.

Just looked at the pics. I only see one with a slight gasket tear. I doubt that would cause you to eat the motor. The leak would
have gone right back to the oil pan being it was in the front cover. I see nothing to indicate a major oil leak. Hate to say it but it looks like Nissan was correct. Just chalk it up as an Oh F. moment and get her fixed. Long block would be the way to go for sure. If you can find a low mileage engine out of an 12' or up it would be your best beat and it will have the factory oil cooler. The heads have a good
chance of being junk on your current engine. Price around and get all of your options, even a long block from Nissan. Sometimes they
may cut you a good deal. You never know until you ask.
