Got $2000

[STL240SX]

I need to fix  my engine via rebuild or whatever i decide to do! Anyway, what do you guys think? Should i fix my s13 KA( timing chain/ rebuild) or should i look for a newer engine?? Maybe a better condition S14 motor?? I only really have like $2500 at most, what do you think?? I need help!!

You should give it to me! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> I'm serious too.... I mean, you're a cop, you make plenty of money ripping people off while driving, don't you? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Just joking.

You know what I&quot;ll say... &quot;KA&quot;. I think it would be worth it. However, you'll probably spend the whole 2000 just on the timing chain and some new pistons and rings <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. Would you do the timing chain yourself?

i dont know if i would do it myself or not,probably the dealership!! Unless you can think of a cheapr , and better way?? Giving it all to you as much as &nbsp;id like to.... i dont think so. So any ideas??

Well, the dealer will charge you some $800-$1000 depending on what is being done. It takes a long while to do this. However, I copied the whole procedure out of a Nissan Service Manual (Technician's copies) that we have here in the dealership, but I don't have a scanner. If you want, I can make more copies and send it to you and you can decide if you can do this yourself or not... I think it's an expensive job. If it's not too bad, don't do it...

It's only expensive b/c it takes a long time to do it, and its pretty technically challenging. &nbsp;Most the guys I've heard do it themselves, say they wouldn't do it again. &nbsp;They say the same thing about the clutch.
