I bought this car back in October 08' its a 1991' 240 SX SE HB.
It had 19k on the clock when I bought it, it jnow has a little over 43k
Im thinking about selling it, as I have kinda lost interest,
and plus the motor was making noise possible rod knock or wrist pin slap??

NOTE: I have installed a Brand New Crate Motor Long Block, I bought from J.I.S. Engines out of Texas and have the Paperwork to prove it.
I also had my friend who is an A.S.E. Certified Platinum Mechanic at Honda help install it and he too is very meticulous and neat as I like to be.
I have put a little over 3k miles on this motor and it runs great, no issues I would drive this car anywhere.

It can be stock again, I have all the parts to put it back to stock, including the stock SE Wheels with Factory Toyo Tires on them still.
I have every piece of it!! LOL, even the factory springs, only thing I didnt save was the struts cause one was blown.
Also the vinyl overlay can be peeled off to reveal the flawless paint still.

Rod knock or wrist pin slap on a 40k KA? Highly unlikely. I would suggest you try and verify that mileage. Is the car a Salvage title?
That would explain the extremely low mileage and the fact that the original engine might have been sold and a higher mileage engine swapped in.

Though ya low mileage KA's are not known for developing rod knocks or wrist pin slap. Unless someone runs it out of oil and drives it for a bit before putting oil back in. LOL

No the car was bought in May or June of 1991 by the guy I bought it off of.
The cars title is clear and the mileage was verified.
Im baffled by this as well???? It doesnt sound like rod knock to me, but I cant telll what it is ?? I took it to the Nissan dealer and they did the same thing we did when we checked, pulled the plug wires, pulled the valve cover etc..
Its very very strange to me as well.
I have blown an SR before and my friends have spun a few rod bearings before and it doesnt sound the same.

Whats even stranger is I had the oil changed the day before it started making the noise at the dealership.

But I cant pin-point the noise it may not be either one?
I pulled the top guide and it was fine no marks, chain was tight, motor is very clean, and the oil is still clean,
no metal shavings, shiny stuff etc..

I wish i knew someone who knew KA's better than me and could find this noise

Interesting and baffling. Good luck on sorting it.

Shit this car should be kept stock except for a little suspension and wheels. Otherwise it should just be preserved. This is the kinda of car that If I found it, I would not modify it beyond what I wrote above. Its just to rare and low mileage.

Someone needs to buy this fine specimen and keep it that way.

bump for legitimacy and cleanliness of this jewel of a 240. seen it in person many, many times and i still have yet to find an imperfection. iirc the factory plastic covering is still on the rear seats, at least it was the last time i saw it. lol.

i'd buy it, but my in broke/in mad college debt self cant even afford to fix up my own 2slowty. lol. nor do i have a garage to keep this beautiful car safe from the elements in. lol. i'd say keep it!

Ok I found the noise, I guess my motor was built on a Monday or Friday LOL
It is the start of rod knock. Sucks to be me! Ohh well,
I guess I should not be so on top of my maintenance, since I know people who neglet the crap out of their cars, and they still run hahahaha.

So I ordered a New Engine today from J.I.S. and will be installing it as soon as it gets here.

So for now Im gonna hold off selling the car but I am open to trades or partial trades etc..
