Em.. 1996 240sx ka24det brian crower/cp pistons/cometic full build. When i first got the car it had cracked head and warped block from extreme overheat. It had oil gas and water mixed in the oil pan. I got a different engine, put a lot of money in it and came up with oil+gas only. The thing is - my air/fuel gauge is gone and the a-fpr was reading 55psi the first couple weeks i was driving it from the backyard of the shop i work in to the outside of the shop i work in. After the engine stopped starting due to too much fuel in the cylinders, i dropped the pressure to 30 psi and changed the oil (that's when i noticed gas). I still need to invest 1k or a bit more to already invested 5k since the start of this year but i'm desperate - what if machine shop did the bad work and installed valve seats or valve seals wrong? What if the new engine was bad at a first place and machine shop didn't notice a crack in the head like it was the first time (i tried to rebuild the first engine but no luck, then started checking - was too excited about this car)? Should i continue wasting my youth staying those 14-17h at work once in a while (mechanic, work 11-12h a day) or just pass it on through craigslist to someone who has more knowledge than me? Or could be this just as simple as injector o rings that drives me desperately crazy?
