Motor wanted. My old one has crapped out on me so I’m looking for a replacement. Looking for a strong KA24DE (preferably of an s14, good compression, lower mileage etc). Alternately also looking for a cheapish CA18DET(less than 1g). Might just be a good idea to get swapped for just a li’l more than a KA replacement if avlable as i have to pay labor for the motorswap anyway. pls send a pm with description, compression & mileage.  
Thanx

If you go with a CA plan on cracking it open and doing at the very least a complete OEM rebuild. It’s easier doing it when it’s out then doing it a couple weeks down the road.

Nothing about the CA is reliable for most people.😉 Been great for me though…knock on wood…
