[drpsycho]

hey guys its ben a min since ive talked on here i joind the army and ben gone for a year. first thing geting back home i made a bee line for my car to find that my wife overheated it three times and it wont start and has no compresion. so i disided to rebuild it with new rod bearings piston ring gasket set new header ngk plugs 8.5 wires electric fan kit and optima batery. after having the head milled the guy tald me that the valves wher a lil weak but it would be fine but when i put the head on he shaved it so much that i had to cut the gasket flush with the head to get the timing cover on but got it all together and it ran. now after an 800 mile road trip back to base it would randomly over heat and it just blew the head. now whear i live its realy hard to fined 240 parts so can i install a ka head out of an altima and everything hook up cuz i know ther a lil dif.

Thanks for your service to the country.

Is there a question here or just a really angry English teacher?

i didnt know if the KA head out of an altima would fit my s13 KA and i dont understand why it was over heating after i replaced everything in the coolant system

KA is not easy to bleed after coolant service. You jack up the front as high as possible and run the car, so air bubble will escape. You can leave the radiator cap open or open a bleeder bolt on the block. Believe it or not, a bad radiator cap sometimes causes over heating too. Rubber flap is supposed to open when pressure goes up, but sometime it doens't happen.

Sorry, no idea about Altima KA head fitting on 240 KA.

I have seen a Altma head on a 240SX on the forum on nico but from what i read the guy was told to throw it out and find one off a 240sx. I recommend hitting up the technical forum, they would be able to answer you better than we could.
