My 89'Man. Got done with installing the head and a whole heck of a lot of smaller random things. Tried to start it up and.... nottin. For the last week i've been troubleshooting but never could find the prob. My friend came over today and checked it out. The damn head is like 1-2mm off to the right! SO, the head has to come back off. Hopefully the head gasket is reusable because4 I don't have the funds for a new one....

My 93'Crank it and click...nothing. Anybody wanna trade a set of hydrolics for a ka? I was told that it MAY be the crankshaft bearings but wouldn't it turn over anyway?

The whole situation is killing me. There isn't anyone in my area who can work on them. My under the hood skills are limited to SBC's. I haven't driven either car yet! I've driven way to many s14's but never a s13....sad ain't it?

My friend wants to trade his 87' RX7 for one of the 240's. If push comes to shove a 3800 will be finding it's way into my babies....twin turbos of course!

sounds like your starter is crap.

possibly a dead battery?

Nah, no wires disconnected. I highly doubt it's the starter, the lot I bought it from says that when it was repo'ed the guy locked the motor up. but they never attempted to repair it. Couldn't I just pull start it if it was just the starter? I ran diagnostics on the ECU and no trouble was found granted that it just checked the sensors and other minor parts. I really fear having to rip the engine out because I live in a apartment now with nowhere to store an engine!

take your starte in and get it tested at like orielly's or autozone or something. They should be able to tell you. You might need to have someon tap the starter with a hammer to get it to turn over. we did that on a starter once.
