Nissan: Nissan 200 SX ( SR20 DET ) S14 Cylinder Head Removal

It could be the Normal wear of the Timing system. Common on the SR20 and
KA24.
This would mean just pulling the water pump, crank pulley and upper and
lower covers.
The Head will come off the same way if you decide to do it. As the upper
cover has a
couple bolts in hidding.
While you are at it, may want to put and Underdrive Pulley back on the Crank
and Alternator.
Good for another 20HP..

More likely is either a bad chain or worn out rod bearings. Clicking is top
end, knocking is bottom end normally. Without hearing it, hard to say.

The wear has come rapidly over the period of a month or so. It also has had
a new chain tentioner put on it recently !?
I have just obtained the workshop manual for it ( pdf ) so I'll see how it
goes !

Thanks for the advice.

Jamber.

Could just be tappet rattle, clatters for about 30 sec first thing in
morning, fine on all other starts - try some wynns stop rattle? Run
it at idle with 1/2L of oil flush (wynns or STP) or red ATF for 10 min
before next oil and filter change, do not drive with ATF or oil flush
in the oil. Do oil changes at 3000miles. MX5 has tappet rattle too.

As a last resort remove each tappet, soak overnight and purge with
paraffin.

If you get the noise on every startup more likely big ends. Then it
starts to rattle at medium revs while in cruise and light load but
goes quiet on acceleration or overrun. Shortly after this is will
just knock all the time, then the piston bounces off the valves
lifting the head.

If you still think it's top end, start by just taking the cambox cover
off - any top end wear will be easily seen as one or more cams will
not have nice smooth shiny surfaces - they will be rough and scored.
 

Has the 25MB PDF Nissan workshop manual gone from the download files
on the silvia web site? Looks to be there - well except for the few
pages they cocked up scanned twice or not at all.

The fast back RS13 is there too (says S13) with CA18DET. Anyone with
a late 180SX RPS13 needs both, S13 for body, S14 for engine.
