I just picked up my sr20 from a guy who said it had a rod knock. I was tearing apart the motor and kept on hearing a popping noise from the valvetrain. The kid somehow managed to loosen the intake cam bolt and the actual pulley was rocking back and forth ruining the cam dowel pin and sprocket itself. Good for me, bad for him since I only paid 450 for it!!! But anyways while the head is down at the machine shop, I was going to go ahead and take a look at the lower engine bearings. If anyone knows the clearances and torque specs for a s13 red top, it would be greatly appreciated!!! I have searched for the specs but can only find one for a s14... I'm not too sure of the differences if any.
Thanks Zilvia, best Nissan site out there!
