Hi everyone. Just new with nissan... So i just got sr20de from a guy who i dont know... Sells the engine for 250$ with complete harness, ecu and everything comes in aside from transmission and axel.. Anyway im putting it into my 94 sentra.. When i open the rocker cover, it looks like a burn oil was all over the head, camshaft, the headcover and everything inside.. Is it normal? For me it looks like an oil pump failure causing the top head to run out of oil and burn the ramaining on the top. Crispy flakes of oil like.. So im planning now on full rebuild of the engine...any suggestion?.. Thanks guys!

I would post some pictures but sounds like you got the short end of the stick on that deal. I wouldn't spend any money on anything until you get it torn apart for inspection. SR's warp easy from over heating and bad oiling will cause some serious damage, so inspect before putting money into it. Post as many pics as you can to make it easier to see what's going on.
