Anyone know of a price range to get it rebuilt or is it just cheaper to find a new ka24e?
Also if you guys know general prices for the sr20 or ka24de I would appreciate it
Even if you have one bent valve, its cheaper to pick up a whole new ka. I got one with a blown headgasket for $80. I just swapped the head from that to my block that was in the car. $45 for resurfacing head and pressure wash, %50 for OEM headgasket, $45 for head bolts. So for less then $230I have a whole other KA to rebuild, and a perfectly running car again.
