looking for the rotating assembly (crank, rods and pistons) from an early '89 240sx.

the block isn’t important, i just want the untouched rotating assembly.

if you have an entire motor, that’s cool too.

PM me if you have one.

I can check the production date of my 89. You can remove whatever you need, the engine is complete. I live in the Hanover area, about 1-3/4 hours from K-W area.  
PM me a Low Ball offer.

the service manual says the compression ratio change was

“1989 240SX (S13) from engine number KA24-012039\*”

so a engine number before that should be good
