Ain't gonna cost ya nutten but yo time!! That's a personal commodity not all of us have a infinite supply of. The one question I have is, if a valve spring were to break while driving, how much damage does that do to the engine? I'd suspect being premptive and taking car into dealer for the service/recall before a valve spring breaks would be less costly to manufacture. ...but how much less costly?

If a valve spring breaks while driving, I reckon that it just might leave the valve "open" and in the combustion chamber, so as when the piston comes along, and the valve is supposed to be out of the way, the head of the piston will beat the hell out of the valve and the engine will blow or at least stop running. As far as a preemptive move and take your car in for the recall, I reckon it would have to be on their list and a recall issued for your car. If so, you may be able to convince the dealer to put on the top of the recall list. Meanwhile, you could always just not drive your car, then when you get the recall notice and make an appointment with the dealer to have it fixed, have the car towed to the dealership. OR Just drive the car, wait for it to be recalled, then take it in (or not). I found out late in the game, that worrying about shit like that is just not good for you. humfrz |

As for time....no one can really buy time , but people can trade their time for some kind of money $1 per 5min, etc....what they feel as though their time is worth and/ or what their local market will bare. Most people can be bought, but not many people can just walk away from the dollars, and do something else with their time. I'll bet most ...most ( not all) dealerships don't value their customers time, as much as how they value their own time.

Before ol @Tcoat comes to and tells the story, I will relate it. Yep, back in the day, ol Ben and I were sitting in the City Tavern in Philadelphia, when a late afternoon rainstorm kicked up. He ask me to hold his beer as he ran outside with his kite. THE END humfrz |

OK, I got the papers for the recall on my 2013. I was a master tech at Nissan and wondering if someone from a dealer has a parts list.
I don't imagine anyone changing valve springs at a dealer. These should be fully assembled new heads correct? Just curious if this includes a new fuel pump and plugs on the recall. Head work like just installing springs does not happen at dealers so it must be a new head assembly. I'm close to 30k miles and want the full parts list before I call to set up the repair. Just to see what maintenance I can get done cheap or free from the recall. |

At Nissan we never did head work even tho I was trained by two tech schools to do so 20 years ago. I imagine it's a new set of heads and everything else as a set. The letter states it will take a day and a half. Even as a tech 15 years ago I'd pick a head fully assembled compared to just taking a head off and sending it out to be machined because it's out of spec on the measurements you are supposed to do. Would like if someone that works at a dealer to give us the parts list. |
