I'm in the "diagnostic cycle" of Nissan and at their mercy. They have marked the dipstick to see if the level increases from fuel. Meanwhile, I'm killing the starter and possibly washing the...

Turbos not for daily drivers? I have 342k mi, 203k mi, and 298k on three of the turbos in my driveway not to mention semis with a million miles on them. Finding a N/A engine that makes STRONG power...

Good luck with a N/A build. I, for one, am quite impressed with the factory output of this engine. Considering it passes emissions and has a warranty is even better still. I looked up a '68...
