Recently got new tires on my pathfinder. Went with Goodyear dura tracs 285/70/17 and tested them off road today. Was greatly impressed with the traction and overall capability of the pathy. Came up on some nasty Hills too. I heart my pathy!

^^ another reason u saw smoke when the cap was on was because they cooling system was pressurized. And when there is a leak in pressure the coolant is going to flow to the spot where it's weakest which sounds like a cylinder.... Can't emphasis enough... Compression test...

pulled the plugs they were all dry, kind of crappy light brown looking, I re-gapped them to spec and re-installed them. Checked the oil was fine, tranny fluid looked ok. Water was low, added water and started it up, lots of white smoke but he car drove fine, no problem in any gear. Spoke to my buddy and he said it's most likely a head gasket, told me to top off the water and start it with the rad cap off, if water comes out of rad probably is head gasket. So I did that and water did shoot out of the rad and their was hardly any smoke with the cap off. Put the cap back on and after a minute or so the smoke was back.
I agree with your buddy, seems unfortunately like a head gasket.. But get a compression test kit like I said earlier to be sure first, before you spend a lot of money. That will be your confirmation. I speak from experience because I just dealt with a 97 Honda prelude that had a blown head gasket and I had all the same symptoms you are having and as soon as I did a compression test.... It was game over...

Might want to try a compression/leak down test. You can pick up a test kit at any auto store. My guess is bad compression.. Possible coolant leaking into a cylinder. Pull the spark plugs and check them out. If they are wet with coolant than you have bad rings or a bad head gasket. Granted there could be other possibilities... Best of luck to you.

Hi all,
Found this forum from theexbrit over on thenissanpath.com. I have a 2010 Pathy, 4WD. Mostly stock with the exception of low/fog HIDs and air bags in the rear. I was saving up for a lift, but we just took our first camping trip this weekend and I was a little taken back by how quickly our interior cargo room got taken up. So I'm thinking of getting a baja roof rack with maybe a 30" LED bar. Hope to learn more from this community and maybe take some off road journeys with you SoCal peeps! Here's a few pics of our trip this weekend...
We camped off the 15 and Basin Road. Lots of trails that are mostly sandy but some trails were very rocky and the poor sidewalls of the stock BFGs got a little chewed up. Otherwise, for being stock, the Pathy did well!
Upgrade to my R51

Haha! Future plans are a 2" lift with radflo coils, prg uca's and radflo remote res in the back. I also need skid plates underneath and looking at a 30" LED bar on the roof. Looking to make a fairly capable off road cruiser. The truck is stock now with the exception of the incredible duratracs. <br /><br />Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br />
