Thanks man!
No I don't beat on it hard at all. I have a few times but its a sports car that shouldn't blow the head gasket. I don't think I'll need a new long block, maybe a new short block. I'd be surprised if the long block cracked my guess is warped piston or heads or maybe I just had a faulty gasket.
I guess we won't know until the engine is torn down and checked. I am really skeptical nissan will do this the right way and really hope they don't try to cut corners. I don't want this to happen again in another 8000 miles.
