I think in this situation he is way past that (Engine is shot) He is getting a new engine anyways he said.

It's either short block or whole engine. They haven't told me yet.

Either should solve your problem, if its oil consumption issues...

I think it more likely that you have heard of people who went to mean dynos and nice dynos.

Good luck on the repair! Sounds like your dealer is being straight w/ you.

Why replace the whole engine when he's getting a short block?

Why not? It's free? And it will take less time for an engine swap... The Nissan book says 13.2 hours I think...


On another note, just checked my oil. Damn car hasn't used a drop of oil in 1500 miles, it's EXACTLY the same... I guess no new engine for me...

Because it comes down to money, and why waste a long block, when a short block will do the trick?
