Low oil pressure!

The newer gaskets are probably fine. It's not just the gasket material but also the hardware they used that can cause problems - the EPS kit includes new hardware too.

The newer gaskets are probably fine. It's not just the gasket material but also the hardware they used that can cause problems - the EPS kit includes new hardware too. The Nissan bolts tend to back out on their own over time which allows oil to pass by the gaskets and eventually they may blow out.

If you have to go with the Nissan kit, just make sure they stake the bolts when installing the new gaskets.
