Sometimes failing O2 sensors will kill gas mileage. It is the sensor #1 or upstream sensor. While it may not be bad enough to cause a check engine code yet, it sends a "too lean" voltage to the ECU, which causes too rich a fuel mixture.

My buddy who did my valve covers for 700 got it done in one night repainted the heads blue so it would be easier to detect leaks in the future. He would teardown and repair for free and he also painted my engine cover which was peeling will post pic soon main color is black with chrome lettering, Nissan badge, and oil cap. Looks quite nice and was unexpected. Stealer quote was 1800 and would have been out of service for several days waiting on part to come in.

How much do you think it'll cost to replace both?

At this point the job is done and at least you have new valve covers and I sure hope you used 6th gen parts.

I have to agree, no friend of mine would charge me more than a steak dinner . And is that can of paint on the fuse box what he used for the engine cover? Did he brush it on??? It looks that way from the reflections on the engine cover. Spray would have yielded a much more even finish.

Got my Kenwood DNX691HD, soldered on 7551 harness, got DDin kit, steering wheel control box, and back up camera plate frame. Waiting on GPS antennae, and contemplating the Data link kit for it. Be neat to check and clear codes, and view all live date right on the screen. Hmmmmm........also took some old amp power wire, and made a grounding kit. Don't know why, just saw it there and soldered on some lugs and hooked them up....LOL Boredom therapy.
I might start making some threads on this stuff.

When they broke in, did they peel back your window column in the door? I noticed in the picture it kind of looks like they did, but I can't really tell.
