Ok, So as stated before(well, not in here), the CA in the 200sx I'm gonna purchase has a slight problem, Gas and oil are mixing and getting to the spark plugs on cylinders 1&3.

So, the injectors need to clean and the injector seals and spark plugs have to be replaced (That should fix the problem right?). I come to you guys to ask where I can find/order the seals from, and if you're feeling kind, some instructions on how to replace them. If not I'll just have to go to my friend...who just happens to be one of those SR guys who hates on every other Nissan engine ever put in an S-chassis. I think you get my point....

Thanks in advance for any help

it wouldn't hurt to have a new set of coilpacks either...

If you are getting oil in the combustion chamber, you have another issue besides injector seals.

Move cylinder 1 and cylinder 3's coils and spark plugs to 2 and 4.

If the problem moves it's spark plugs or the coils that are faulty.

It's got nothing to do with injector seals.

It's unlikely to be oil at all, unless you've had some sort of 'very unlucky' failure of the headgasket.

If all 4 spark plugs had oil on them, then I'd be looking at turbo oil seals.

Cheers,Chris

OK, so there's a spare CA18DE just sitting there.

Do IA: Use the Parts from the DE (coilpacks, injectors, seals) and use them on the DETorB: throw the DE into the S13 and just add the DET parts to it? Remembering that I'd haveta drill an oil return.....
