Get an S14 DOHC one and swap the S13 cams into it.

Hey good question...I'd like to know that ! What kind of maintence do you do to them...or lack thereof lol

well the first motor was my mistake.. bought the car not knowing anything about the motors abilities and its limitations.. revving at 7k dumping the clutch and what not... and along with the 180k on it... i spun a bearing... siezed and threw the rod.... Second motor same thing happened.. but i was nice to this one knew everything there was about the motor... but same results.... spun bearing.. seized up and the pic in my sig is what the out come was.... third motor... was a wear and tear item that i failed to inspect upon purchasing of the motor... timing chain guides worn down... replaced them myself 12hrs later... started the car and come to find out that the guide pieces got lodged somewhere in the squirters for the cam shaft... and now no oil is getting to the cam... so i'm canning this motor as well.. gett 2 more... one to throw in the car.. and one to rebuild finally.. lol Maintance on the car was great... every 3k changed oil... changed transmission fluid... new 2 core radiator, electric fan conversion... new injectors... removed all restrictions... new water pump everything has been maintained but i just don't have the luck as some do...
