Hey guys, my buddy picked up a 93 240sx that he is swapping a SR20det into, so he gave me his old KA with rod knock. I have built a few v8s but never a 4 cylinder so feel free to chime and help me out.

Parts List:
-Sealed Power Chromoly Rings
-King Bearings
-ARP Main Studs
-ARP Rod Studs(if I can find them)
-New oil Pump
-New Gaskets
-Timing Chain, guides and tensioners
-Water Pump
-Valve Job

Next step will be having the machine shop hot tank the block and hone the cylider walls

[mikemontanti]

are you planning on putting stock pistons, rods cams, etc back in it. how much are you gonna ask for it, i might have the part number for those rod bolts laying around some where i have them in my ka-t

[mikemontanti]

try this part number from my friend google

Yeah I am gonna clean up the pistons and have the ARP's installed in the rods. Unless the block needs to be bored i might consider pistons and H beams. I am not sure how much I am gonna ask for it when its back together.

Is there a good market for fresh KA's? I figure some one would want it to drop in there 240 or something.

[mikemontanti]

its a fair market for them. its not like and sr or rb but its ok...and just like with any motor the more you have done to it the better esp if you have paper work on it. hell my ka-t is sitting at 400 with stock rods and arp bolts glad you are doing that. makes it a lot more dependable

Yeah I plan on keeping all the reciepts and pics.

And not only do I wanna do it right because its the way I like to do things I want to make sure the new owner is happy and knows the work was done correctly and good parts were used.

How much was it to have your rods resized for the ARP's?

[mikemontanti]

I am pretty sure they were direct replacement but don't hold me to that

[rb25_s13*CHUKI]

Any more info on those king bearings and the Sealed Power Chromoly Rings? Never heard of them

King has been making race bearings for years now and sealed power is just a branch of federal mogul. Basic Stuff, nothing crazy.

52 bucks? nice!

Called the machine shop today, 50 bucks to install the ARP's and resize rods, 100 bucks to hot tank the bead blast the block, and 50 bucks for a hone. Gonna have to mic the crank to see how much damage is done there.

[mikemontanti]

You don't rate being a douche here yet Mr. 23 posts with a join date of 2011 and zero trade rating. GTFO with that $hit noob.

[RWHP]

Zedsup please empty your inbox

[Walperstyle]

swap out the intake for a s14 one, and eliminate your emissions crap

www.240SXTECHDVDS.org Home Page (http://www.240sxtechdvds.org) has a video that will show you everything you need to do. The s14 intake is better being it doesn't have the plunger setup.

[RWHP]

Flywheel still for sale. $50

And factory fuel rail and injectors with regulator also for sale, one injector cup cracked. $75

Generally there is a waiting period for new members before being allowed to post any classified ads on here. If you go into the rules and guidelines it states how long. You should definately search around for things like this because there are some members on here that will get their panties in a wad for asking questions like this. Hope this info helps out though!

[RWHP]

-Stock Intake Manifold with throttle body and TPS sensor
-Stock Fuel Rail with Regulator

I saw it and nice with explanations. So did you replace the intake & exhaust valves, because I am doing a rebuild soon, and I don't really wanna buy 16 valves.
Thanks

[rastaman]

How much do you want for the engine when done ? i might be interested if not to pricey

[rastaman]
