Well boys, I came across this thread by accident and read the questions being posed. I thought, 'Who is the super stud asking such insightful questions?' I looked at the name and it was good ole me. Anyway you boys gave me a serious foundation to build on. I bought a second 01 Xterra with the upper engine torn down. I bought the truck for parts, but my other X passed 200,000 and is still going, so I am going to rebuild the dismantled engine. I am going to incorporate some of the ideas discussed here and when it is done I am keeping all my new knowledge to myself or at least keep it from Mike
