If you want the best value for your money pick cost effective performance parts. I did a few posts on the "best" bang for your buck bits for a budget build (ITM hypereutectic pistons, ARP head and rod bolts, ITM gasket set, etc, etc).

 

i guess im not quit rich enough for this haha stupid hobbies

 

Maybe you could enlighten us on what you are attempting to do?

Does your motor need a FULL rebuild?

And yes... engine rebuilds are not cheap...

 

well im around 170000 miles and im getting white smoke never at startup only after it warmed up and reved around 3k-4k+ I am assuming its the rings and since my intentions are a daily dependable drive i just assume rebuild the short block?

thanks

 

White smoke means it's burning coolant (blown head gasket).
Blue smoke means it's burning oil (worn rings, or valve seals).
Black smoke means it's running rich.

A proper diagnosis can save you thousands of $$$.

 

its definitely white.. simple as new head gasket? thanks for teaching me that btw..

 

Head gaskets aren't "simple", but it is less complicated than an entire rebuild.

Start with reading the spark plugs and compression check.

 

how did you learn all of this.. and i will go down to garage and do the test ill let u know the numbers?

 

School, reading, researching, doing, working at a Nissan dealer, body shop, fixing and flipping cars... etc.

 

1:151psi 2:147psi 3:155psi 4:150psi 5:150psi 6:145psi ????

 

I'll one up nismo since a blown headgasket won't automatically equate to a loss in compression.

Check to see if you've lost coolant, with the engine warm put a coolant system pressure checker and pump it up and see if the pressure decreases and if that doesn't show anything connect it and run the engine and watch for a huge spike or decrease in pressure when the engine is revved up.

 

^^^ Always gotta be a "one upper" eh?

 

crazies hows the numbers look idk what the spec is? anyother tests i can run?
