This is my 1992 240sx coupe that I bought not to long ago. The old KA24 had rod knock, which is now out sitting on my garage floor. Now I have a JDM tight CA18DET.
I will be parting out my KA within next month, so if you need any parts, engine or tranny for relatively cheap send me an email. ttvines@yahoo.com

This was the process of removing the old KA24. I took this engine out and took it apart to see the damage.
Getting that bitch outa there
Just about out
Thats better
There it is
Yep it was rod knock on my 4th cylinder rod. When I took the cap off it didn't even have a bearing it was so bad. It was running straight rod on crank.
My crank and rod are screwed.
All that gray stuff in my oil pan is metal shavings, my whole engine is covered in it.
