Hello Everyone

I am looking for some feedback on which engine I should be looking for to replace my 2005 Altime SE-R motor, the VQ35DE. A hole in side from a dropped valve through the piston makes me want to replace not rebuild. I see this engine in a few cars to choose from but not sure what to avoid, what to get. Is there a better option like a HR or RevUp motor that works and can be sought after?

Thanks in Advance for any help, info or whatever you can suggest.

Anyone else heard of this problem BTW? Only 80k of well taken care of miles and valve drops into motor and destroys it. I think it is the loose screw problem but wont know till I get the engine swapped. But there is a valve sticking out of the side of the upper oil pan..
