engine bother?

[davytin]

I recently aquired very clean white 91 200sx, the body work is imacluate and 100% original. before buying I gave it all the checks and was satisfied that the engine and turbo was in in good condition no rattles no blue reek!(slight rise an fall in idle nothing unusal, assumed it needed tuning). I had to save for 4 weeks before i could pay the insurance but on that day it started KNOCKING.It had been sittin for 4 weeks and i noticed thet it was low in oil, ive just noticed a slight oil leak somewhere. The knock starts at 3000rpm and is deffinatly not the turbo. Im going to throw a lock o STP in her the night an see if it quiets down a bit if so am i right in thinking that its the dreaded Big Ends. At the end of the day what she needs she gets. What a sexy motor!

p.s. Does any one know how to get service manual or workshop manual for the 200sx 1.8 turbo?
