Mikelly Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 We finally got the 240SX home and the stepson spent better part of two days cleaning it up... I put it up on the lift last night to bleed the brakes and I saw a LOT of rust on the suspension. Fortunately very lille is on the car frame, except in the area under the donut/ above the fuel tank. A rear DUST Shield from the brakes has RUSTED THROUGH!!! I'll need to get him out there with a wire wheel... Here is the problem though... We're doing research because the car has a wicked intermittant knock in the engine that changes, and even goes away depending on the reves/ if it is in gear or not... I'm hearing on one of the other sites that the knock sensor can actually be the culprit. Any one ever dealt with this issue on the K24 series Nissan motors??

Lockjaw Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 My soon to be ex's Altima makes racket in the top of the motor. I have heard that there is a chain rail on the top of the valve cover for the cams that sometimes breaks, and that could be your culprit. I checked hers, and it was not broken, but it is an easy check, just snatch the valve cover and see. I doubt the thing could throw that chain anyway.
