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?

well didn't get the vq done today but letting everyone know that not only does the gasket kit contain every freaking o ring and gasket on the engine... but also contains new valve seals... lol sooo i guess nissan never actually figured out the exact problem and or its a combination of the two (piston rings and valve seals) that make the vq's eat oil like its their job...

New valve seals, interesting

Are you/have you worked on the 370z engine? What do you think the cause of the oil consumption? Is the OC issue gone on the engine that you personally worked on?

Still wondering why there are no details on why these engines drink oil.

Every engine rebuild gasket set contains new valve stem seals. It's not usually those which leak on new engines, it's the brass valve guides with too loose of clearances around the valve stems.

Not sure what's going on with the VHR, but if it's the valve guides, Nissan should be replacing cylinder heads and short blocks (due to oil consumption build up). I'm assuming this is a problem with the cylinder wall finish or piston ring wear/lapping if Nissan is replacing short blocks only.

What ever happened to the PDF doc with the Nissan logo?
