Car: !975 duster..for sale!!

Post

I am going to look at a 1990 nissan 240sx. In my opinion a light fun to drive car. the crank has just be grinded and all the bearings replaced. But its got noisy lifters. I know what caused it, but I'm wondering if there is an easy, and inexpnsive fix? Or do I need to replace the lifters?Thanks for the help

I dont fully understand ...but I think you mean take them out? and then bleed the air out? How hard are they to get out?

All it needed was to be ran for 10 mins with no reving. the body looks like crap, but there isnt any rust. it comes with 3 12" 1200 watt subs (not my type of music but thats fine I'll take em) and a crappy deck. And the clutch was installed wrong...dose anyone know how much I'd be looking at to get it installed properly? thanks
