KA24DE Detailed Assembly - Start To Finish

[@dreednlb]

Very well done. The KA community has been needing a video like this.

[@Nscardigno33]

Thank you for watching! Good to hear it’s helpful

[@StephenStrappJr]

Yassss! This is what we were talking about. People are gonna watch and build at the same time with such chill vibes with the music. Ka Build: Step 1: Be Nick. Step 2: Engines done. Magic.

[@Nscardigno33]

Thanks dude I can feel myself getting better every video . 😂😂 1.5hrs condensed to 20mins

[@FriedEggsandJellyfish]

Coming back to this video again 2 years later. Those part numbers are a time saver!!! Thanks dude

The ka24 is becoming so popular these days. Thanks for the post!

[@Nscardigno33]

No problem more ka stuff to come I put a lot of stock cars together

[@Hiighboost2]

I liked and subbed many years ago, but don't know if I ever left a comment. Thank you for all the effort you put into making this video! This is my type of how to video. Showing how you do it in real time. This is extremely useful to anyone needing to work on these KA's.

[@bronco35]

Thank you because I’m gonna totally rebuild the KA in my car and actually add good power and this video is awesome! Keep up the good work!

[@Nscardigno33]

Glad I could help!

[@ArnoTrek]

Wow. The intake related stuff is going to take awhile to sort out. The rest looks pretty straight forward. 12mm swivel socket has just been ordered. Thanks for putting this up.

[@aharxn]

Great video I really needed this putting a dual cam in my single cam car

[@Nscardigno33]

🙏 thank you. wiring is pretty simple .. Just need to swap dash plug to brown dohc and match the colors. Wiring:1. Locate the body harness (under dash harness that attached to the ECU) that attached to your old harness. Cut the old connector off (the one that attached to your SOHC harness) and attach your DOHC body harness connector. Just match the colors!Yellow/Red --TachYellow/Green--SpeedometorOrange--Ignition startBlack---GroundBlue/Black---Water temp sensor

[@miaouchat495]

What hose did you use for the PCV valve? In particular, the one piece that goes from the PCV valve to the distribution tube. The hoses are insanely expensive at the dealership.

[@Nscardigno33]

It’s a 3/8 hose I just use some thick wall fuel hose hose for it so it doesn’t kink. Or walk in back of oriellys and match up a prebent 90 at parts store

[@ChrisN85]

Awesome video, very informative!

[@Nscardigno33]

☺️

[@darkartsperformance]

I'm struggling to find any info on the oil pump seal in the service manual that you mention at 10:48 - do you have a part number?

[@Pistolpeet723]

Been looking for these part numbers at oriellys and nothing came up ?

[@tonyt9537]

FYI the oil pump seal is on the wrong way @ 10:46. I hope you removed it and put it in the timing cover collar facing inside the pump

[@Nscardigno33]

This engine now has another 40k miles on it since the refresh . It will seal either way . I’ve done it both ways as I’ve disassembled original engines and found them in this configuration also

[@LetsDriftMedia]

Repair manual says to install it the way he did in the video, Though when I disassembled my first KA it was the other way, Seems like it doesn't matter.

[@waltercartagena5830]

Very good job and very quick

[@Nscardigno33]

I appreciate it thanks for taking the time to watch and compliment 🙏

[@kurtlan4636]

I have to replace the PVC Valve(rubber grommets) when I replaced the PVC, is between the PVC and breather separator, the rubber vale was so bad and crumble, most of pieces was fall into the breather separator, I didn't take them out before I replaced the new PVC, This this matter?

Hey boss, dont know if you will read this, but im tackling rebuilding my first ka right now, and when i dissembled i cut alot of hoses and lines on the intake manifold, wondering where you are supposed to source those?

how are you capping the ports?

[@abewright4584]

What did you do for heater core lines?

[@alexxxdagrrreat]

Could I reference this video for a 2002 Nissan frontier xe ? My dad just gave me one 285k miles M/T 4 cylinder.... After a year of sitting I started it up and nothing but blue smoke and failed air compression ratio.... I doubt it's a ka cause I saw mexico stamped ... But it is a 2.4... ? Any advice would be great.

[@Nscardigno33]

Sorry for late response I missed this . To an extent yes but the frontier Ka is a bit different as far as hose routing, intake manifold design and distributor location

awesome vid. Where did you get that Tstat without a jiggle valve? would be grateful for a PN.

@@justinlassiter7671 to be honest I may have cut the valve off it myself I do that sometimes

[@justinlassiter7671]

@@Nscardigno33 yeah, I've clipped and drilled them in the past. I don't like them because it increases warm up time. I plug them by bending the valve shut and the engine reaches temp in like 3-4 minutes. I checked Rockauto and they do have the 76.5 without the valve, but even better, they have an 82C with a jiggle so I bought that and will plug it. Thanks a ton for the reference brotha

So I've got a problem, i was told my Ka has silicone inside the engine, they said its not gonna run if they swap it over, will i have to rebuild it or should I just run it and let it burn off?

[@Nscardigno33]

that sounds crazy I dk how silicone could get in the engine or how they would know there is . unless someone did a poor job resealing it and used too much rtv . in that case just pull the front cover off clean and reseal

[@Nysmo420]

@@Nscardigno33 i probably guess the engine guy didn't care too much about the motor since he said it's pretty much an easy engine to work on, but i found someone else to do a rebuild and they told me they will completely refurbish all the parts to get my engine in tip top condition 👌
