Experience dependable work truck torque and smooth idle stability with this Nissan Pickup KA24E Remanufactured Engine. Each 2.4L 4-Cylinder 12-Valve SOHC power plant features casting 72P cylinder head architecture, a 100mm distributor mount, and a dipstick relocated by cylinder 4. Technicians must perform an engine oil prime and execute an exact 500-mile break-in oil service to protect rocker arms.

Cast with heavy-duty iron block markings T50, F45, or KA24, this assembly maintains structural bore concentricity under severe load. The rotating foundation features a micro-polished forged steel crankshaft casting 86G, balanced connecting rods, and oversized hypereutectic pistons. Cylinder head casting 72P receives diamond deck resurfacing for head gasket retention. Net dry weight totals 240 lbs within crated dimensions of 36in length by 36in width by 36in height. Engine oil sump capacity holds 4.3 quarts.

Key Features of Nissan KA24E

Contractors and fleet owners buy Nissan KA24E remanufactured engine assemblies to restore original payload towing capacity and pass strict state exhaust inspections. This long block replacement provides factory-matched machine tolerances for late-model Hardbody pickup applications.

- Pre-installed timing cover and oil pump speed up garage installation turnaround times.
- SOHC 12-Valve cylinder head casting 72P provides optimized intake flow across all 4 combustion chambers.
- Timing cover features a 100mm distributor mount pattern for correct late-model ignition fitment.
- Engine block casting provides a rearward dipstick location adjacent to cylinder 4.
- Crankshaft casting 86G journals receive micro-polishing to hold total indicator runout under 0.0003in TIR.
- Diamond plateau honed cylinder walls establish an Ra 16 micro-inch finish for piston ring seating.
- Multi-layer cylinder head gaskets prevent combustion gas leakage across resurfaced cast iron block decks.

Dyno Bench Clearance Machining Specifications

Dyno cell spin testing certifies mechanical oil gallery pressurization and shaft torque delivery prior to crate shipment. The 2.4L 2389cc SOHC engine outputs 134 HP at 5,200 RPM and 154 ft-lbs of shaft torque at 3,600 RPM. Crankshaft main journal oil clearance measures 0.0011in to 0.0015in, while connecting rod clearance holds at 0.0012in. Compression testing registers 180 PSI across all 4 cylinders. Hot engine oil pressure maintains 55 PSI at 3,000 RPM with regulated coolant temperatures steady at 190°F.

Vehicle Fitment Drivetrain Guide

This long block repowers 1996 to 1997 Nissan Pickup Hardbody trucks equipped with the 2.4L 2389cc SOHC KA24E engine, head casting 72P, 100mm distributor mount, and dipstick by cylinder 4. Compatible drivetrains include rear-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive paired with manual or automatic transmissions requiring bushing 12330-E3000. This unit does not fit 1990 to 1994 narrow-port casting 40F engines or 1992 to 1995 trucks with 80mm distributor mounts due to timing cover divergence.

Installation Protocol Service Requirements

Technicians must verify distributor housing diameter measures 100mm across mounting ears and inspect rear dipstick tube o-ring seating during installation. Operational warnings restrict use in custom forced induction turbo projects exceeding 6 PSI boost or severe off-road rock crawlers lacking auxiliary oil coolers.

- Pre-fill the oil filter and prime the lubrication system with 10W-30 conventional motor oil.
- Drain initial break-in oil and install a replacement oil filter at the 500-mile service point.
- Inspect mechanical valvetrain lash and check timing cover oil pump seal integrity at 1,500 miles.
