eric!! i started taking apart the engine a little bit. took some stuff apart to take the valve cover off, drained the oil, and removed the splash shields from the bottom. while doing that, i noticed a heavy scent of gasoline in the oil. any idea why?

just got my ride back to my garage and i’m ready to start the tear down. i’ve called many sources and the available ka24de engines they have in town are for automatic transmissions. that reason alone led me to make the decision of rebuilding myself. i have the sporty Altima SE edition with a 5-speed transmission.( pretty sure its rare) ive also done work to it myself (cold air, OBX exhaust, and high output alternator for my stereo). as for the compression test i will redo the test because i feel like the mechanic did not do the test correctly. just have go buy a gauge and go from there. ive learned a lot just reading books, my haynes repair manual, and watching eric’s and other videos online. all i’m missing is the hands on experience of tearing an engine apart. i am looking forward to it. i suspect that i will have to replace rings, bearing, and some machine work. well i will keep you updated eric. thank you for making such great videos and sharing your knowledge with the world.

what i was wondering is could i rebuild the top end but also replace the piston rings? i live on the North West region of the usa and i seem to be having difficulty finding a replacement engine locally. I would rather spend the money on a rebuild kit and fix it myself with the knowledge ive obtained through watching your videos and following the Haynes manual.
