Rattling noise under hood...

****. I started the car and this rattling noise like something is being banged around in the engine started. I drove the car for a few miles and I noticed white smoke come out of the muffler. ****. I cannot believe this ****.

I am on my 3rd motor already and I am sick and tired of dealing with this piece of **** car

I couldn't find any of me MEVI screws missing, what do yall think????????????/

1st one was bad when I bought it, had a bent rod.
2nd one the place that sold me the junkyard lied about the mileage and one of the headgaskets blew.

I have really bad luck, I don't drive my half as hard as most of the guys around here do either.

Damn, sorry to hear about your misfortune. If you want to try again, why don't you do what Tilley99 did and stick a VQ35 bottom end with your VQ30's heads and manifolds? Or like SR20DEN and stick the whole VQ35 (I'm not sure about the wiring involved tho). Either way, a VQ35 off of a 02-04 Maxima or any other car that uses it is very likely to have low miles on it anyway. It's just something worth looking into. Good luck and I hope it all works out

well it's alot cheaper just to get a vq30. I am hoping and praying I don't have to get a new motor.
