hey, my names jaron. i have a 1991 240sx. got it a couple months ago for 100 there was water in the oil pan and we thought it was a blown head gasket but it turns out the bottom guide broke and the chain ate through the water pump houseing. we welded the hole and just finished putting it back together. it runs but idles pretty bad and it looks like oil is leaking through the front main seal. Any help would be appriciated. Ill post pick up later when i can get hold of my camera.

 

Welcome to the forums

 

Try your typical tune up, and check the timing.


Welcome to the forums.

 

or try changing the front oil seal...

 

 

im goin to order the oil seal sometime next week and hopefully that is what the problem is also the water pump just started leaking a couple of days ago when i cranked it up before i went to school but i cant find were it is coming from on the water pump

 

a fluorescent light and some dye will help

 

i found a 91 240 in the junkyard that has a rebuilt engine in it do yall think it would be worth the time to try that water pump b/c im kinda low on money right now

 

Here is the latest pics of my car.

If it was in working condition when it was junked it should work, can't guarantee how long it will last though. Car looks good.
