KA24DE help!!!

[mattaltima99]

hi need some help. recenlty got a whole KA from a guy going to put it in a s13. the thing is stuck!! i cant turn it over. i took the oil pan off to look at the pistions they got a little build up around them. but i dont know what to do in order to free all of the pistons. plan was to rebuild the ka up. any suggestions on what pistons and rings to put in it, a guy was telling me NPR off of ebay for the rings(sounds cheap). thanks

i used a 2x4 and a hammer when i rebuilt my KA. i took the crank off sprayed some pb blaster on the top side of each piston let it sit for like a half hr and they came out fairly easy. good luck

took the crank off? If you got the oil pain off, spray it down with brake clean and get the build up off, then lube the cyl walls (oil in a spray bottle). Then pull the spark plugs and spray the ringlands with PB blaster and follow it with a 1/2 cap of motor oil, wait and turn the crank with the plugs out.

Pull the plugs out and see if it's any easier to turn

The plugs are out and the crank is free(not totaly off) but the pistons are still not moving after i hammer them with a extension i had them soaking in Deep Creep for 4 days. im stuck???

Well you just ruined that motor if your hammering the pistons.

no not really hamering, but the plan is to put wiseco pistons and eagle rods for a turbo ka. just thought if there was any alternatives to saving this block but i guess not. ill find another block thanks for your time

Crazy.... just fill the tops with PB blaster... should get it loose and okay for honing.

Yep sounds good i got them out with a bar and a hammer they slid out putting wiseco and eagle rods thanks for the time
