I am not sure how anyone would know it is not the original engine. How
many people even know where the engine serial number is and I have
never seen it on a title in any state I have lived in. I know that was
common many years ago but not so much for the last half century.

It's not on the title and the VIN number only identifies what engine the
car is equipped with if more than one is available in that model. In
this case, there is only one engine used in the Pathfinder. The actual
serial number of the engine might be buried on the manufacturer's build
sheet some place but I haven't seen one of them in years either. They
used to hide them in places like in the springs of the back seat.

So basically swapping engines is about as important as replacing the
brake pads in the records. I would not sweat it.

I was thinking about this last night. The car will be ready later today
or tomorrow according to the dealership.

Due to the way the MA Lemon Law is written, I probably have the best
warranty you can get for the next 11 months. If *anything* else on the
car requires warranty repair in that time frame (or 15,000 miles) it
will immediately be subject to the Lemon Law. It means I could drive it
for the next 10 months or so, have something go bad under warranty and
Nissan could be required to refund all the money including trade values,
licensing and title fees that I originally paid or give me a replacement
car of equal or better value. There's no allowance for depreciation.

This is due to the second part of the MA law that states that if the car
is required to be in the shop for warranty repairs for a total of 15
days or more during the first year of ownership (or 15,000 miles) it is
subject to the Lemon Law. The 15 days need not be consecutive and the
problem does not have to be the same one. Any combination of warranty
repair requirements qualify.

My car already qualifies should any other problems occur. It has been
in the shop for 19 business days already. :-)

Sounds good. I bet they will be really nice to you for the next year.
