Preventative Maintenance
Hello everyone,
i just recently picked up a 2003 Maxima with a seized engine and plan on doing a motor swap with a lower mileage 3.5 VQ35DE. The replacement motor has over 80k miles on it. What can I do to the engine before putting it in the car to prevent the common issues of the VQ35DE? What I mean is replacing, but what specifically in general to mitigate any future issues?
