Re: X-trail starting problems. MAF? COIL? Other??
why don't you do a compression test when the car gets hot? Before you spend $$$. In my opinion, if you're having a gasket problem, then it should show up on a compression test - hot or cold. If it showed up that you had a compression leak at higher temperatures, would re-torqueing, or at least checking the torque settings on the head bolts maybe clamp it down a smidge? Just some thoughts.
Also, if you go as far as a motor or head rebuild, be sure to have the timing chain and tensioner replaced, as these seem to be a weak point on the x-trail. I think there are uprated timing chain kits that you could look into and read about in this forum.
