Oil control rings are sticking is much more likely. Compression test won't
show this either. Either one is going to be VERY expencive to fix, used
engine will be much cheaper than trying to fix it.

Steve,
I am looking at a 95 Q45 that gives a puff of blue smoke on startup, would
this be the same problem? If so I will not buy it...(it was a lease car the
first 31K also)

I have a 2000 Maxima 3,0 liter V6 stock engine that needs to be
replaces. Can you tell me what year/model engines will bolt up without
any modificaton?

Will the 2003 3.5Liter fit /swap?

Might be only that year, especially if you are planning on a used engine
with all the manifolds etc. The junkyard will have a "interchange book"
that will show what fits and what doesn't.
 

With enough money it will. Easily, no.
