i found a ka24de on another forum of mine, and im thinking about buying it. says it has a small front crankshaft seal leak, how hard is that to fix? and theres no ecu or harness. heres what they said:

"i have a ka24de w/ 5 spd transmission from a 96 240sx. has about 129,xxx miles on it. includes ASP lightened UD pulley, royal blue AEM short ram intake (not pictured), Denso iridium plugs and Accel wires. aftermarket products have approx 15-20k mi on them. although has a small front crankshaft seal leak, engine has never had any major problems and never went out on me...always ran well."

its for $325 obo. tell me guys what u think.

bump...im thinking of getting this engine if the front crankshaft seal isnt too hard to fix. anyone know? i could easily get a ecu, i'd just need to find a harness

Its a fairly easy fix. The seal itself is less than $10. You have to remove the pulley to get to the seal, so you will need something to hold the pulley while you wrench the pulley bolt with a deep socket. Once the bolt is off you may need a puller to get the pulley off if its stubborn. Mine didnt want to come off at first but the puller convinced it otherwise. The whole process (removing pulley, belts, old seal, etc) is 1-2 hours, at most. Much, much quicker if your pulley is cooperative and slides off easy. Dont let a leaky front seal scare you away if its the only thing wrong. It would be super simple and much quicker with the engine out of the car.

the only thing im concerned about is trying to find a complete, uncut engine harness
