Buying a 240sx need ur help!

Whats up fellas,
First off Im buying a 92 Hatchback out of AL and the car had a CA18DET in it and he removed it and put in a new KA motor but he said the only thing it needs is and Ill quote this from the guy maybe it makes more sense to you all "the exhaust cam is off and a cam bolt is lost in the timing case, but i know that it should crank with the exhaust cam bolted down and timed right." So where the hell is the exhaust cam located at and how much is a timing job and what in the world does it consist of or can I do it on my own? I need a solution asap hes shipping out to Iraq and I need to hurry up and get to AL but I want to know if its worth it.

If you don't know where the exhaust camshaft is located, don't bother trying to do anything yourself.

Re: Buying a 240sx need ur help!

you cant find an exhaust cam and you want to do an SR swap....wtf? not to be rude but i dont even have a drivers license and id be willing to be im better off with the car then you are, that is if it isnt running. If it is running, go ahead and buy it and try to take care of it and learn things as you go along. Good luck with it!
