Price Dropped due to lack of interest… =(

This is a great price for a turbo 240sx.

A little elbow grease and you’re cruising around.

Just did a compression test and it’s 165-165-165-165 all across the board.

I also diagnosed that it isn’t engine knock but a noisy lifter, possibly a shim came loose and the lifter is floating in it’s seat.

Other motor fixes are a water pump (which was replaced by the previous owner) and possibly the turbo. The turbo could be blowing coolant by the seals and is only noticable in the exhaust (after the motor warms up).

The front of the motor’s apart, I’m replacing he water pump and timing belt.

I put fresh plugs in and will be looking for a replacement MAF as the car is running rich.
