Marsh510 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Heres the Engine, L20B with dual sidedraft webers. The 3rd and 4th cylinder seem to have a problem, the compressions are off, and i believe its because of the valve rings may have slipped off or something. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Well since its 3 and 4 it could just be the head gasket... the gasket could be torn between the two cylinders. Quote Link to comment
Marsh510 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Once i get the head off, i will definitely check it out, thank you! Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yep. Theres a few other things you can check too... you can look at your oil and if it looks more like a frothy milkshake than actual oil, or while running if the exhaust smells like burning coolant. I believe Mike mentioned in another thread that you can remove your radiator cap and with the engine running, have a friend rev the car. If you can see bubbles coming out of the coolant coinciding with the revving, then its exhaust gasses being forced into the coolant because of the torn gasket (a technique I wasnt aware of until Mike said it).

banzai510(hainz) Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 you got the fire order correct o the spark plug wires? 1 3 4 2 counter clockwise fire order. YOu ck the valve lash.???? Ck the jets in the rear carb? mack sure they screwd down. if bad rings you would have alot of blowby out the crank case tube . persoanlly I would put motor on TDC and ck the mecahnical timmingoil pump/dizzy to #1 ply wire? and pull the valve cover to ck the cam timming. This is #1 in any new aquired vehicle. Maybe the MOFO assembled it wrong and thats why you got it cheap. watch this naked about a million times eating Cheetos. Beware you might get Orange wiener http://vimeo.com/19077890 Quote Link to comment
darrel Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 don't take the head off yet. Verify the lifters and lash pads are in place. Keep It Simple Stupid. Quote Link to comment

kayakdude07 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 The VH45 is a monster. I made mine into a coffee table and kept the KA! Good luck with the swap. That engine is very wide. Table 3 Quote Link to comment
Marsh510 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Yo! I'm horrible with thread posting. Well, one day, I was driving my dime down the freeway, enjoying the nice breeze until i hear huge vibration issues. I get home to find my driveshaft being held by 2 bolts. Decide to pull everything off the car and start fresh. Sold everything off the car, troy ermish rear coilovers, 280zx coilover brake setup, maxima rear brakes, built l20b with 45 webers and dogleg 5 speed and other goodies. My father told me had an SR20 pulled from a 1998 240sx sitting in our backyard since 2000. Only to find out it was a KA24DE. Popped the cover and shit was fresh as fuck. only has 15,000 miles, so i decided to put in my 510. Well, ill leave it at that, pics to come! If you have instagram, Follow me! I post most of the stuff on the car there. Names Marshalloo. 2 Quote Link to comment
