My Fresh VE Swap (ALOT of Pics)
For those of you that don't know I bought a VE from a guy in NJ who bought it from MaDMaX024. The guy in NJ didn't do anything with it and sold his 3rd gen. The engine sat for a long time and became very rusty and corroded, but all of the internal parts were/are fine. The engine was rebuilt with factory parts except it has Z32 NA pistons in it. When the engine was pulled out of MaDMaX024's Maxima it had 11k miles on it, so it was basically just broken in.
I stripped the engine down, cleaned, and painted everything. (I wish that I took pictures when I first got the engine)

I used engine bright and pressure washed everything with my 3000psi heated pressure washer.
Then I sanded everything with red scotch brite pad and washed all the parts with dish soap and water. I hardly got any grease on my hands when I put everything in the car.
