first of all, please turn off your caps
second, you have to break in every engine, don't you know that??? You're supposed to break in the civic engine as well, if you didn't well that's your fault, but you shouldn't bash Nissan because you have to break in their engines. It is unfortunate that you had to have an engine replaced, there was a problem with the piston rings seating on the early model 02's, causing them to eat oil, but it has been fixed. Hopefully you should be happier with the new engine after you're done breaking it in.
