There is no limited info in the posts pertaining to this question, in fact it's been covered to death. Oil pan swap, that's your free hint for today. The KA forum has been around many years and I promise the info is in here somewhere. What search terms are you using?

Thanks rev.
Looking for that haystack, needle in hand.
Obviously using the wrong search terms, suggestions/links appreciated.

Maybe try searching for d21 head on s13 block type threads. I just know I see these types of questions come up frequently. I'll post up if I see anything that will pertain to your situation. You might want to search differences d21 vs s13 SOHC head.

Chapter and verse Rev.?
I seem to be inefficient at the 'search' methods suggested.
I can wing it, just thought a heads up would help me.

Check the truck threads. Can't remember exactly which one, but Rev already posted a link that takes you to a step by step on the same swap you're attempting! Good luck and happy motoring!

Found you the link I was referring to:http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/ka24e- ... epair.html
If you can't get it from here, check posts in truck forum under the thread- Tick,tick,tick.....
Something there should help!
