i got a used ka24de with 100k+ miles on it and i would like to rebuild it back to new condition.

along with new pistons, rods, and bearings. what else would you recommend to assure another 100k miles troublefree? machine work? crank? head?

thx

have you done any tests to see what condition the motor is in currently? or do you know it needs a rebuild?

If it only has 100k on it, it WILL last another 100k with no problems, so long as you maintain it properly.
