IggyB Member Registered: 27/08/00 Posts: 265 Loc: Calgary, Alberta Canada	Just discovered a small hole in the intake manifold. It's just to the right of the #1 injector (passenger side, closest to the radiator). Looks like it was made when the threads were cut into the intake manifold for the bolt holding the upper water hose mount to the block. WTF, over?! And , yes, it is a Frontier.

I certainly wouldn't worry about it, but if Nissan wants to give you a new intake manifold I wouldn't complain either. _________________________ ChuckH "Every morning when I wake up I know it's not going to get any better 'til I go back to sleep again!"
