Message	You guys are awesome. Thanks for all the replies! I didn't hear it when I looked at it, but the owner did say it does have a little lifter/valve noise at cold start. It wasn't there when I heard it, so it must go away when warm. My biggest concern would be the valve/valve spring issue. Don't really want to pull heads for that. Right now, it sounds amazing though. Fires right up and sounds great. No evidence of any leaks. Underside is very clean and has a new(ish) Borla exhaust. Nissan has to de-archive the VIN before they can tell me what, if any, recalls have been performed. A bit louder than I would prefer, but it's acceptable. It would be a replacement for my daily driver if I bought it. Kind of hard justifying getting rid of a reliable econobox. But, it is a Z......
