#OpGetToTheTrack
What's crackin Zilvia? My name is Kevin, im from Huntington Beach, CA. I Picked up a 1991 240sx SE back in October 2008.
![]() I got her knowing she had some serious knocking, but I was looking for a project. Before I even started looking for one, I have been lurking forums and learning what I can. Decided that I would attempt my first engine rebuild, rather than jump on the sr20 bandwagon. ![]() So the fun begins. Fenders, bumper, and hood removed. Pulled the engine out. Oil and dirt was caked everywhere! So far the only rust was in the battery tray. ![]() Cleaned the engine bay up a bit. I plan on going over it one more time before the engine drop. ![]() ![]() ![]() A/C crap was all removed. Couldn't get my hands on R12. ![]() Got an Energy master bushing kit. Moog ball joints all around. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tore the engine down and found a broken rod bearing. Split in half! All of the main and rod bearings were done. ![]() Dropped the block off at the machinist for a .20 bore, hone, and deck. Got the crank grinded, balanced with some Manley rods and fresh oem pistons. Did some painting here and there: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Next I did the head. Full rebuild, Crower stage 1 cams. Nothing too special. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rebuilt the oil pump. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I got all new coolant/heater hoses, fuel lines, vacuum hoses, and belts. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Painted the rims ( looking to trade them if anyone is interested ) 16 x 7.5 offset unknown ![]() ![]() Sadly about 800 miles later, she started to knock slightly. I didn't take any chances and ripped her out immediately. Turns out a few rod bearings had a little too much clearance. Oh well, I decided to swap in an SR rather than rebuild the KA again. So I parted out the goods and purchased a s13 blacktop. ![]() I am in the middle of the swap right now, so far she is bolted in and im trying to figure out the rest of the wiring. ![]() |

Thanks guys! I am excited about the SR! Forget about that KA
![]() Most of that over spray wipes right off. There is a lot left of the KA, if you need anything let me know via PM. Ill let most of it go cheap just to get rid of it. I already sold the rods, pistons, camshafts, (both sets) and the valve cover. I am going to finish up the wiring harness today after work, and get my gauge's set up ![]() |

Almost there
![]() Almost done with the swap, but I need some help! I can't figure out how the wires from the security system mate up with the new engine/harness. If anyone knows how to wire up the engine bay portion of a security system, PLEASE send me a PM!!! I can provide more information about the system via pm. Thanks! ![]() |
