Thank you, @Slartibartfast and @gamellott! I will source those connectors, once I take inventory of what I need. Disassembly is complete as of this AM, taking Heads to the machine shop for pressure test today. No obvious blown gasket, but the PS Head between #3 and #5 smells like burnt oil. I also found a bunch of coolant in #6 which makes no sense to me...need to figure that out. Good news is that all cylinder walls look cherry and only minimal carbon on pistons. She definitely deserves a refresh, I'm happy with what I'm seeing so far. Also, almost no rust anywhere - other than EGR and exhaust manifold heat shield screws - I broke 2 off. I got lower EGR tube nut off after a bottle of penetrating fluid, 60 secs of heating the manifold and sledge hammering a wrench connected to the nut. And 3 beers.

Ah unfortunate! I dropped it off at a second place for a resurface so let’s hope it goes well! There are a few engines out there and I have numbers that I’d need to go call around for to see if they’ll split it from the engine.

It is possible to fix it but those micro bulbs that are used are almost impossible to find. The two buttons come out as drawers and inside there is a serviceable mini bulb. Sometimes if you have a junkyard nearby it is an option but they might be burned too. I tried the same with mine.

Yes, that bolt is giant on the crankshaft. I find it usefull if I have to turn the engine over by hand. https://www.summitracing.com/search/year/1992/make/nissan/model/pathfinder?SortBy=BestKeywordMatch&SortOrder=Ascending&keyword=connector Someone who sells Standard Motor Products. You'll have to figure out how they're keyed differently. I bought a set for the fuel injectors some time ago and I still haven't used them.
