QUESTIONS ????? On KA's

[72nismo]

Can you put 92 head on 95 block and the car run properly??Is there anything special needed to be done for it to work.Buddy of mine did it but the car seems to be smoking.

You can put a 92 head on a 95 block, Now is the motor in 92 or a 95 car and are they both dohc? reason i ask is because depending on what car u have you will need to use the distributor from that car year.

Car is 95.And they are Dohc.

ok, then your gona have to use a S14 disrtributor,intake manifold and exhaust manifold, and go with a 92 head gasket, then you'll be fine, dats a set up i currently have on my S14 right now, 93 head with a 248 exhaust cam and a 232 intake cam and it works great.

Buddy just told me he is using that set up but when car is in idle there is white smoke and if you rev it there is alot of white smoke.

my car is running fine,not smokin at all and vise versa with a buddy of mine dat did a 95 head on his 93 240. well is your buddy's car smokin a white smoke or a bluish color smoke? if its minor white smoke den that should be normal considering dat its a bit cold out, and if its alot of white smoke then he may have a headgasket problem. Now if its blue smoke then he has an oil problem, possible causes could be worn rings,valve guides,bad pcv valve,or even a blown headgasket. Also check oil if its milky.

The funny thing is he did the same 2 set ups on 2 cars like you and your friend and got the same problems.Smoke is WHITE>

[spoolings14]

well if its white smoke then here are possible causes for it smokin white: blown head gasket or cracked head, now another one would be a leaking intake manifold gasket because on the KA's the intake manifold has a coolant passage. The reason for white smoke is that you have water/coolant burning in your combustion chamber. Well hope this helps. With both of those set ups my S14 and my buddy's S13 never did have any smoke issues so i guess your buddy's car has problems and that its not the setups fault.
