Nissan 240 Gold Plated Head/Cams

Equinox · 07-06-2010, 02:10 AM

So yeah buddy of mine has a 1992 Nissan 240SX, and taking apart his engine (right now valve cover off) we find that his head is gold plated. Is this something Nissan did to some of their cars for a period, do they still do it, or what the ****?

Thats is correct, seems like this motor was serviced well with proper Oil Changes, the hint is there is little to no oil deposits or sludge.

Platnum plugs, a golden head, and headers made out of silver

No. Seriously, totally normal.

ka24de are sweet. They are so underrated. The piston's aren't the best, but the rest of the setup (iron block, forged rods and piston oil squirters) is begging for boost.
