Head to the dealer, you may be able to get Nissan to cover it.

That said, if you had butterfly screws in your engine for as long as I assume it has taken you to notice, you'd probably have some smoke or loss of power or some other symptom.

It's probably a heatshield or something rattling. What (if any) mods do you have?

I checked my spark plugs compression was a 150 across but 2 of the plugs had oil on them.. and i changed my oil today after it was black from not even 5k miles of 10w30 syntheic mobile 1 oil, and now the car smokes worse

You didn't mention the smoke in the first post.

I'd still try a dealer before buying a new engine yourself. It's Nissan's poor design that caused your engine failure. If you have an aftermarket intake, you may want to put the stock one back on first to avoid them hassling you.
