S13 cams into zenki v kouki S14 KA

[OptionZero]

Furthering my quest to solve my mysterious oil burning problem, I return to the primary suspect: my S13 cam install. Now I'm sure many have installed S13 cams into their S14 KA, but when doing so into a 1997 KA, are there any differences?

My oil burning and massive smoke from exhaust problem only manifests when parked on an incline for a long period, nearly an hour. This leads me to believe oils is leaking out of somewhere it shoudln't be leaking from...

I also recall reading that the 1997 KA had some differences, like a different oil jouurnal or bridge or something?

Has anyone done an s13 cam into 1997 KA install and had any problems? I did not replace anything except the cams, and even tried fixing this problem a while ago with a new valve cover gasket, to no avail.

Is the problem in differences between 1997 and 95/96 KA's, and is there a solution? anything?

search it on freshalloy

they were talkin about cams a couple weeks ago i remember reading it, but not entirely sure if it relates to your topic

i did the 248 cam on my intake side a few months back... check for oil leaks coming from your valve cover gasket.

edit... i read the post too fast, haha. maybe your valve seals or something... im not too sure about the oil journal being different though. ive never heard that one. i cant imagine just the cam shaft install causing any problems with oil passages seeing as how its just a camshaft.

Well my engine has never had any other modifications, so I'm not seeing how anything else could be the problem. It also made it to LA and back, and was AutoX'd several times before that, and withstood the abuse...there's ONLY a problem when parking up or down hill for a long time.

Rearmost cam tower is missing on Kouki models.

...and would that leak oil?
