onespiritbrain Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Update on this engine:This thing is running great. The water pump is constantly dripping but I haven’t had to add coolant yet. Mega huge difference between the amount of coolant my BHG was using... crazy.I definitely notice a small amount of extra low end power. Top end feels the same. It so nice not to have to constantly worry about overheating!I am warming back up to my Nissan. Good ole car..Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 These engines are actually fantastic. It looks like you just got a couple of really poorly maintained ones. glad it is running well though. I'm about to dig into my VG33ER out of my Xterra that was eating a quart of oil every 150 miles! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onespiritbrain Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 I am fond of the VG33.. I noticed a small cloud of oil smoke from the tailpipe at lunch today.. I also noticed that I am using oil. It’s probably used a quart in the last 1000 miles.I did gut my precats though and it is possible that whatever oil was already leaking was being burned and now it’s not.. and I was using oil before my head gasket started making up for the lost oil with water.. We shall see.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
