Has anyone had a bad experence with a Nissan TD 42 engine repair, after cooking the engine due to loss of coolant?
Can anyone recommend a engine repair
shop that specialises in nissan engines?
Also, what is the story with the change in pistons from a heaver (more expensive) to a lighter (cheaper) one? around about 1995?
help will be appreciated.

I'd say that not many would specialise in Nissan, as not that many need rebuilds, comparatively to other makes. The piston change is fact & it affects (one factor) the amount of turbo boost that can be used - 17psi can be done on the older heavier pistons but about 10-12 is the max for the newer ones (I think). I have heard it is earlier than 1995 though, about 1993 I think?
