Hi there,
My ’92 240SX just developed rod knock and needs a rebuild. I’m a body tech girl, so I know my way around panels and paint, but mechanically I’m still learning. My teacher said the oil isn’t reaching the top of the motor.
I’m looking for a reputable shop in or around Seattle that can rebuild a KA24DE or at least diagnose what’s going on. I’m *not* trying to engine swap right now — I want to keep my stock KA — but in the future I do plan to go SR20, so a shop familiar with Nissans/240SXs would be ideal.
If anyone has recommendations for machine shops, Nissan‑friendly mechanics, or local 240SX‑savvy techs, I’d really appreciate it. I can tow the car if needed.
