Ive been the one to learn the hard way about going the cheap route, and wont make that mistake again. But one of my friends is thinking about purchasing a rebuild kit for the KA on ebay. Check it out and let me hear your thoughts.

95-97 Nissan 240SX 2.4 Master Engine Rebuild Kit KA24DE | eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-97-Nissan-240SX-2-4-Master-Engine-Rebuild-Kit-KA24DE-/250812309804?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a6594212c)

Waste of cash.. The only reason somebody would get a kit like that is if they are doing the rebuild themselfs.

Otherwise if your paying a shop, enjoy continously paying the bills when all them cheap grade parts begin to die.

I doubt that Gasket kit is even Genuine Nissan, so theres already 1 big down fall imo.

NOOO! horrible idea! cheap no name knock offs are the worst thing to do, especially when its directly for your motor. why would you make your friend suffer the same way you did?

^ Trust me no, Ive tried to tell him not to get ebay crap. Because he knows the bad experiences ive had and experienced them first hand. I know you can get away with some stuff from ebay, but I would for sure never have ebay internals. And he is doing the rebuild himself

Tell your friend to be a pioneer. Tell him to be the first one and we will all see how it holds up.
