Your personal hesitations and apprehensions about disassembling more complex engines is refreshing, what do I mean? The internet is full of egos and scene re-takes which give the illusion that they know everything and never have questions of their own. I love the real world experience that you portray. Well done and keep it up!

These engines have great aftermarket support, so getting replacement connecting rods will be easy. The cylinders look like they could be bored to a common oversize, so no worries about finding pistons either. It will need valves, but those are also easy to find. This looks like a good core for a high boost Silvia build.

I had a 200SX SE-R back in the day. Only issue with the engine was the timing chain tensioner which caused chain slap on startup. Easy fix with an upgraded one from a newer SR20. Drove it over 200K miles with no major issues until I got T-boned by a red light runner. Stock it made good power and torque for the time and had a 7.5k redline if I remember correctly. Great motor.

The B14 SE-R will age like the S130 did. They have parallel stories. A little softer, a little more refined, arguably better in some ways than its predecessor yet these same virtues could also be held against it. Looks also generally weren't well accepted despite being beautiful in its own way. It won't be long before a lot of people who have a first gen SE-R on their bucket list get priced out (many are right now) and realize the next best thing is right under their nose. Just like the S130 is finally getting its due, so will the B14 SE-R. iykyk

It is clearly rebuildable. But you still needed to disassemble it entirely. Selling the parts to repair another one (or in fact quite a lot of them) is equally good. If it were mine, I would feel pretty lucky to only have a rod to replace, and would probably just clean of the bad cylinder and not even overbore them. 1 new rod, 1 head gasket, new rings, new bearings, then check and lap the valves and I would just run it that way if it passes a leak down test with similar enough results on all cylinders.

I’ve been a mechanic for over 20 years. I had a friend give me a great tip regarding socket headed bolts. You can do one of two things, take a punch that fits into the hex cavity and give the punch 3-4 good hits or do the same with the socket instead of the punch. You may damage the socket a bit but good steel doesn’t mind too bad. This tip has saved me a lot of time and frustration.

That's always got to be done without damaging the fastener's key (hex, flats, splines, or whatever)

A tip for really stubborn fasteners. There are breaker bars wit a spot where they can be hit with a hammer. They’re often used to break lug nuts loose on heavy equipment. One guy stands on the bar while another hits it with a sledge hammer kind of thing. You can rig up a smaller version for head studs, you just need to apply steady pressure with the bar while you strike the down on the top of the fasteners

Spent 9 years working at pick-n- pull. I spent a good 3-4 years underneath the drain racks as a drainer/ cat cutter/ gas tank drainer, etc. We would have to do anywhere from 30-50 cars a day. Aluminum pans would be punctured in 3 occasions; the drain plug was over torqued and caused the bolt to strip.The engine suffered major head gasket failure (10 plus minutes of draining molasses and still not done), or... out of sheer laziness. And yes, sometimes the aluminum casting would completely break and it was really bad. Anyhow, it was because we were always rushing. I'm not there anymore, much happier now.

A well maintained even med-high tuned SR20s are almost bloody bomb proof. I had one (P11 Primera GT Which I believe is an infinity G20) in a car that had done a little under 190,000 miles with no known history (I paid peanuts for the car). The sump held tar and to be honest it responded VERY well to a service, new filters and plugs. Amazing engine. Also the SR20DE/T was from Nissan. Pre Renault buy in/out where quality became an afterthought (Just like with Renaults).

That was my question too. He talked about parts being good but that block looks useable to me. 🎉

I thought I was the worst for *Dropsy,* as in I drop lots of stuff unless I pay *close* attention to what my hands are doing. Can’t take anything for granted…

Just seeing the chipped valves was a indicator that it's not a running engine

This was a good engine, and the SE-R was a hidden gem.

I had a 92 SE-R. The body was getting eatin by rust but the engine was a top. 3rd gear was a beast. I miss that thing. I doubt I ever get a chance to own one again as they are all but gone now.

That is the engine I would like to swap into my 1985 Nissan 720 4X4. I do not want it dfor drag racing, just to bring my old truck power up a few notches for todays highway speeds. The Z24 engines were so gutless, but back then speed limits were 55 and 60 so you did not need much more in a 4x4 truck, but the extra power would be nice.

The oil is probably dark like that from soot from an improper tune (rich)

You’re missing the bottom part of the oil pickup. You shouldn’t see the screen, it should be covered by a cone to suck up oil from the bottom of the pan. No idea how it didn’t run dry of oil without that.
