So my S14 had a used engine dropped in "and rebuilt a year ago" which I was told from a 97 "Kouki". I'm guessing he meant a S13 Kouki since I went to replace the Valve Cover Gasket and learned the S14 one doesn't fit but S13 dual cam one does.
Not to mention I had to drill and tap three new 6mm inserts since the asshole stripped them before I got it :facepalm:
Anyhow, I've been thinking bout rebuilding and going NA KA with a tune and forged internals, clevite bearings, etc. then later down the line turboing it since I'd know it's actually still in good enough condition to do so.
I was just wondering since I have a S13 dual cam is there anything I should watch out for when buying rebuild parts as this is my first 240 and I don't know too much about the difference in the two motors? I've been researching it and from what I understand since it's a S13 dual cam the blocks are the same and the head/intake manifold and other accessories are for a S13 dual cam?
My motor has been throwing an idle code (feels like a VERY small misfire on one cylinder it's not very noticeable though) ever since I got it months ago, changed the plugs already didn't fix anything. I think I probably need to adjust the timing or something along those lines, I'm not sure as I'm very new to working on cars. If anyone could shed some light on that I'd appreciate it, but my MAIN concern right now is what should I be worried about causing problems when rebuilding a S13 dual cam that's mounted in my Zenki S14? Sorry if this question seems kind of stupid I've just never had to order parts for a rebuild before and don't want to run into any problems.
