Whats up guys...i have a question, but let me tell you whats up....im planning to have a spare rebuilt S13 ka24de.

My GF's lil bro has a ka24de that has a blown head gasket...well the moron drove it like that until it took a shit. I helped him inspect it and it wasnt cranking so i decided to drain the oil. First thing that came out was water, then oil.

I know most likely the top end got warped and its gonna need a full rebuild. the motor is just sitting in the garage and its gonna be free.

well my question is, is it worth rebuilding? or just find another one that is less abused. and it will be more like oem rebuild.

Thanks.

Open it and send it to a machine shop to check if it can still be fixed. I have a KA also and it was turbo and leaned out more than 6 times until it broke the 4 pistons and I sent the block to a machine shop and it's ready to be rebuild again, the cylinders were fine.
