Is the KA24E engine a good or bad engine?
The bad news includes the limited flow characteristics of the 12-valve cylinder head, the single camshaft and the long piston stroke (96mm) which inhibits the extraction of significant horsepower. The aftermarket wasn’t terribly thrilled either, which left KA24E enthusiasts with few aftermarket options to choose from.

When does a KA24DE make a rattling noise?
My KA has recently developed what I can best describe as a rattling noise between about 2000 and 3000 RPM. The noise is most apparent with the engine under load (climbing hills, hard acceleration), but it is still there if the engine is revved in neutral, just not quite as loud. If the engine is held at around 2500, the noise remains.
How big is the inlet valve on a KA24E?
Inlet valves were 36.6 mm in diameter, the exhaust – 31.3 mm. These engines were called KA24DE. In contrast to KA24E, KA24DE engines have new oil pan and oil jets, modified pistons and crankshaft with compression ratio 9.5. On models for SUV compression ratio is reduced to 9.2 and 9.3.
What kind of camshaft does a Nissan KA24DE use?
To gain some power for cheap, you need the most aggressive OEM camshafts. But first of all, repair your engine, it may be old and worn, put your engine in order. After that purchase KA24DE stock cams (248/248), cold air intake, 4-2-1 header, 2.5 inch straight pipe exhaust system, lightweight flywheel and JWT ECU.
