KA24DE- When i bought the car in 2006 the bottom end was OEM rebuilt, and my great uncle (mechanic for 60 years of his life) told me if it isnt broke, dont fix it. When i noticed my coolant dissapearing i bought upgrade head parts (cams/valves/springs/head gasket/head studs/3 angle valve job/decked the head). I know it takes a little extra work to make some power (reliably) on a KA but that goes along with the (as I do 98% of the work on my car) experience of a project.

When i did the rebuild and had the engine out, I pondered a different engine but remembered what my uncle told me and just refreshed the gaskets, seals, tucked the harness, and simplified the bay a bit.. Is it ok to attach a pic or is this a discussion only thread? im sure everyone saw my build so far. i really only built the car/engine to travel around and have a nice car to call my own that I built.
