[2004 Nissan Pathfinder LE, Engine/Propulsion Photo] [2004 Nissan Pathfinder LE, Engine/Propulsion Photo]

This 2004 Pathfinder has valve cover and oil pan leaks.

I started to disassemble for the repairs and found an intake runner valve missing.

I found both parts, half of each stuck in the cylinder head runner. Just above the valves.

No sign of the screws on the piston. I'm guessing they are in the Cat.

I cant get a new intake manifold , not available. The junk yards will only sell an entire motor.

There is no codes and no running issues. As you can see, it looks like its been in the head a very long time. Any suggestion's what to do at this point?

Thanks for your time.
