I'm a novice at this, but this video made it look so simple and gave me confidence to do something I have never done but wanted to do. I have a k24z3 and my goal is to swap it in a 88cr. Thx for some great videos!
Please upload more vids about the k24 swap... your videos are one of the best ones out there. I got encouraged to do the swap on my 09 tsx after watching your video. Oh and I subbed your channel too.
Nice video! I think those plastic pieces are from the oil cap, looks like the threaded part. No idea how those pieces would get through the oil drain back holes in the head though. Also, that engine really doesn't look bad inside at all in my opinion. No it wasn't spotless, but I have seen way more engines that look way worse than that than engines that look that good or better.
I own a 2008 honda accord coupe, 4 cylinder and frankly I love it and plan on owning it for the rest of my life. This content is literally gold to me. Thank you so much Milan for providing this kind of in depth material! Not just for Honda either but all of your other builds. You rock, thank you sir!!
Thanks Trevor! I appreciate that more than you know ☺️ Be sure to come back and see what kind of progress we make in the coming year! I'm hoping to get this engine ready to be swapped for spring time 🤞
I use channel locks with an old inner tube over the teeth to remove cam caps all the time. Dead blow hammers can be problem too because of the potential for bearing damage if you use too much force.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THOSE PLASTIC PIECES ARE FROM!!! It a broken oil cap lol working at a Honda dealership I see broken caps all the time! That looks exactly like the threads on them!
I'm a heavy equipment tech and I never understood what the big deal is with a Honda crank pulley bolt . On dozers, front loaders and cranes 75 percent of the machines bolts are as hard or harder than a Honda crank bolt, way harder . I use a snap on or ir titanium impact and it does the trick for me . I've ran into some really stubborn bolts on big Cummins and Cat engines and if the impacts won't get it I use a chain wrench to anchor the pulley and a long 1/2 or in some cases 3/4 inch ratchet for the bolt . Depending on what it is I'll use a 3/4 inch impact which I know nobody is going to use on a Honda .
You didn't explain how to properly loosen cylinder head bolts. Depending how their torque down it's either inside out when loosening or vise versa. Failing to realise this can cause your head to warp. Also I believe that oil pump is attached to the counter shafts which is why it's so big it helps with vibrations.
The oil pump on these engines has balance shafts which helps reduce the secondary forced from the crankshaft. I will be changing my pump out with a better one when it comes to the reassembly :)
thanks again for some great detailed videos! They really are great and very helpful to me. I have the K24z3 engine and am also looking to increase the horsepower as well. Did you finish this series and I just can't find the final video? Or did you run into some problems with the build? Would love to see the final build and hear what HP you got out of it. - Thanks!
I clicked on this video because I thought it looked interesting, and I was intrigued that the K24 had an open deck. But this video is superb, straight to the point, clear, outlined brilliantly. It's excellent. I hope Honda forums have this sticked at the top of their appropriate forums.
Very informative video with awesome photographic quality and some helpful hints along the way. As a instructional video, I would recommend you slow down the pace. I think anyone watching this is willing to learn as much as they can from you, and would rather see a longer video than have to stop and rewind to get a better look at some process that you edited down to a few seconds. You should also refer to engine fasteners correctly, not by the size of the socket or wrench used on them. For example M6-1.0 X 20 bolts are available with several different size heads including 10mm, 8mm, Allen, Torx, Phillips, Slotted etc. None of these specify the bolt size. So it would be more accurate to say "remove all of the 6mm bolts securing the valve cover with a 10mm socket or wrench", than saying remove the 10mm bolts, because technically there are no 10mm bolts, and you are, technically teaching. Don't get me wrong, this video among the best found on RU-vid and you can be proud of that. Clearly you have experience and knowledge that will help others. Keep doing what you are doing and you will go far. Thank you for quality content.
Do the stock intake springs have more coils at the bottom? My springs got all mixed up and springs have no colors to identify intake from exhaust. HELP!
Well done man great video. Very detailed. Honestly these motors are a lot more work than my ej25 out of my Subaru lol. Do u happen know what the difference between the k24a and k24z3 and k24w1 motors ? Do they use the exact same block but different head ?
Hello i have a k24 engine 2006 in my Honda Elysion , one day I got in the car and tried to start the car , right before it sorted to run it made a metallic noise then turned off , it never started again..... we opened the top of the engine and examined the chain and timing was still fine , fuel system is fine .... help what could the problem be
It's not a complete teardown since you already removed the intake manifold. For a newbie looking for a full tutorial, they might not know how to handle the exterior accessories or how to pull the engine for that matter. That engine might have come out of a 2009 2.4 TSX but that's not an 09 engine looks like a 2013 CU2 or CUP K24Z3 engine. The 09 engine exhaust side has V-tec and the head as a traditional 4 port exit.
He’s right you don’t need high end tools to do this. I literally lifted the engine out of the car by throwing a rope over the rafters of a barn and pulled then took it apart in the floor like he did.
Excellent video I cannot believe with all them subscribers you have so little views.. something's not making sense there? 🤷 Could not have said it better myself.. because I have no clue on how to do this but I learned a lot!! 👍
Been searching everywhere can’t find answers..will the tsx internals work in my accord z3…valves,springs,cams? Will they work ok with the Accord block?? I want to rebuild the head but obviously wanna upgrade what I can but Accord support is almost non existent but there’s plenty of parts for the tsx z3
Hey dawg! Doing good work for us broke RU-vid mechanics. 😂 This will do nicely for when my California CSX Type S Gives up the ghost and I wanna do a 300HP N/A 200 hp 9000 redline with my hondata is way more fun that my boosted FK8 Type R. Just imagine 300hp N/A. 😂
Hie. I have a honda stream which has a blown K20A. I am looking forward to buy another motor. I am looking to buy a K20A3 or K20A4. Will they fit where the k20a was.
Bro after watching your vid I took my oil pump off (again )to check I hadn’t forgotten the oil pump O-ring on my k24a3 my engine doesn’t seem to have one?or a recessed spot for one??
Hi Milan, I’m not capable of tearing an engine apart for cleaning ( forget about rebuilding). Is there an easier way to decarbonize/ de-gunk (remove all the accumulated gluey stuff) the engine? I own an 09 Accord. It has the same engine as your accord (minus all the modifications). I know you have a neck to neck tight schedule. But if you can squeeze in a video on this subject, that d be great!
An old trick is to use Diesel engine oil (rotella t6, rotella t5, Mobil delvac etc) as they’re better at keeping the engine clean due to more detergents I think...or you can also just get cheap conventional oil or semi synthetic like rotella t5 and just change it out until it stops getting dark quickly
9:39 That isn’t a Combustion Chamber. That is a Cylinder with Pistons and Rods and Wrist Pins and such in them. Chambers are on the bottom side of the Cylinder Head. You’re welcome.
I read just a few comments and I agree with everybody your videos are awesome 👍 keep up the good work bud. I'm going to be doing a k24 swap on my cb7 Accord and your videos are very helpful and thorough! 👌
The plastic bits looks they are from an oil filler cap. Maybe the threads broke of an old oil cap at some point and fell into the engine and the last owner just replaced it.
Just curious. I have a gti running 240 hp at the crank and my torque steer is much more than I'm happy with. Will that be an issue with your 300 hp at the wheels? The reason I ask, I'm looking to do an engine swap in my porsche 914. I haven't decided on an engine and trans yet. I realize torque steer will be mitigated to some degree by the the mid engine installation but, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on a k24 install. I've considered a subaru but there are a lot of problems with engine management. Link is the only after market solution available and it is very pricey. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Just from a reliability standpoint it’ll be easier to swap in a k24...also regarding ecu go on some Honda forums, explain your situation regarding ecu and they will tell you what wiring harness you need to run a hondata kpro ecu...also check out on Facebook Honda marketplace in your area as there is usually lots of good deals for new used and aftermarket parts
