During a motor swap the last couple nights with Mechanic Dan, I find something interesting on this 2002 Altima with a 2.5 that needs a new motor at 94K.

Putting the harmonic balancer back on.. I gaze to the right to see something as part of the all aluminum block. A nice little casting mark that says "Made In Mexico" :?

I never knew Nissan didn't get all their parts from the homeland....

it wouldnt surprize me in the least if very little or even no parts at all are made in Japan for doestic makets

Accura'* have Mitsubishi parts in them. I didnt know that until I did an audio install for a friend of mine. I was surprised since at the time i was driving a Mitsubishi.

So do Hyundai'*, Chrysler'*, and who knows what else....

Thats why the American car makers are suffering. Overseas parts are built for cheaper money.

You think American parts are made here?

Most of em are. I know not all of them though.

Read the fine print.. it'* "assembled in USA"

Most parts are not produced here.

I want a T-Shirt that says not made in CHINA. And on back No hecto en mexico.

One of my engines came from Romeo, MI
