ooohhh damn

There are only a few reasons when a man is allowed to cry, seeing that should be one of them.

what engine is that?

[biggie]

I'm assuming it had something to do with what he mentions on the auction as "bad timing chain". Probably the chain broke and that engine is super FUBAR.

[xyoufailmex]

Its a KA24DE

And the answer to your question is simple... jackhammer.

[Nissan-S14]

It's a KA24DE. I can't imagine whats underneath that valve cover.

[azncorruptedo17]

seriously... how can that happen... he throw a bowling ball at it?

[Stev0n]

like... if the timing chain snapped, with enough force, when it hit the valve cover it could cack it, but iunno if it could **** it up that bad tho

[wickedpelf]

i almost cried when i put a 1x6 inch gash/ crack in the side of my KA... but then i realized its SR time...

I've seen the result of an altima timing chain breaking @ 6k rpm split a battery almost in half. Pretty crazy stuff.

[lilvtboigotrice]

that's pretty sad to see a KA like that seeing as it only has 117k on it. Don't think I would want to know the abuse that engine has been through.

$2500 buy it now for a salvage title, automatic, base model 95 240sx with a totally f'ed motor? I'll start my bid at $200 fow what its worth in scrap metal...

[ILikeMy240sx]

yup that def looks like the timing chain broke. that engine is pretty much uesless now since KA is an interference engine and once timing chain breaks..... bye bye engine.

and WTF is that guy thinking? hes trying to sell the car for 2500??? id be surprised if that thing was sold for 500 dollars

And he tried to start the car w/o the timing chain not even in place.... I can only imagine what the valves/pistons look like...

[Florida240sx]

I think it's worth at least $600 don't yall think up to $1000

Imagine my surprise...it didn't meet reserve. Do you think he'd be offended if I emailed him and offered $200 for the seats? They look to be in pretty good condition.
