    how many miles on your car??? what year???

    another member of the versa forum with a 2016 model with 250 miles is reporting the knock.
    the guy in mexico will share pictures of the blown engine, will share here.

    on my car knock seems to be getting a little louder again, is still far from the noise level previous repair, but is still there, will perform cylinder cut test this weekend to see what i can find.
    i wont taking again to dealer because in less than 3 month i wont have it anymore, but this is a serious problem.

    Allright. So the engines have an issue. Even some replacement ones do. And no, nissan isnt doing anything to fix it. Unless there is a breakthrough, stop posting every detail. Youre preachin to the choir here.

    Excellent. So that's another one. Thus far, my new one has about 8,000km on it and still knock free.

    well thank god i have finally sold the car.
    saddly there was a delay on the shipping from japan of new car, i will have to wait until end of june
    i want to share a video i recorded the day before i sold the car showing the valve guide problem.
    listen carefully between 0.13-0.20, you can hear an intermitent metalic knocking noise, those are the valve guides with incorrect clearence, so the valve knocks while moving.
    https://youtu.be/IQEafLTwF2k
    nissan is also well aware of this problem, fix is to have the entire cilinder head replaced and cross fingers to get a new one that wont develop the same problem after 10k km.
    also engine after 1500km since the overhaul was starting to knock a little bit, i am sure in 20 30k km the knock will be as bad as before.
    how are your new engines doing?? apparently problem is greatly improved on L series engines, at least on the short run, time will tell if they develop a severe knock or not.

    another member from versa forum from us had his engine with 700 miles replaced.
    new engine L series seems to be knock free.
    so probably L series engines at least does not come with the rod knock since brand new, only time will tell if they dont develop the knock after some mileage.

    LOL.
    i can bealive, very audible knock, you were very gentle when applying pressure to gas pedal, if while around 2mil rpm you give a fast and sudden pressure from 2000 to 2500 the knock would have been very very loud.
    is that a loaner nissan car?
