Dropping in a fresher Ka

[Charlie240sxt]

Well my Ka is dead at 145k,but I already have a new one to drop in its place with only 19k.Picked it up for the low price of $650. Well my Q is why the motors out what should I look into replaceing? I mean it has low miles but I am guessing it has been sitting more then running. Thanx

You killed a nissan engine at 145k? I didn't even know that was possible.

[Charlie240sxt]

It must have jumped the rev limter cuz i looked down and was probly around 7800rpms

i had a major timming chain problem at 149xxx and then at 160xxx i had a spun rod bearing, and it 165xxx it finaly died, and that was racing it every day redline every gear, it took it like a champ for awhile

You can pull your own engine here for $150, transmission for $75, no joke. I could make some money this way too...
