Absolutely one of the best rebuild L24 videos I’ve seen. Makes me want to tear mine down just for the heck of it!! Only improvement would be to include a list of part numbers & vendor references. Thanx again!
Thank you! Theres a lot of technical info i had to leave out due to each engine having its own dimensions and machining requirements but factory service manual and the books i referred to give a step by step on what to do :)
I only use gasket maker where it’s absolutely necessary. Otherwise it causes more problems than it solves. Besides being used incorrectly… (assembling parts immediately after applying RTV…. ) All gasket makers and flange sealants need some time to cure before assembly / mating. RTV will not cure anaerobically.
Absolutely loved this build series! was super informative and technical but also straight to the point! Definitely inspired me to rebuild my L24 and would reference your series if I did. Just curious if you don't mind sharing a relative cost breakdown? Any sites in particular site/brands you sourced most your internal rebuild parts? Thanks again for sharing your build!
Thank you for the kind words! Im glad you got something from the videos :) Im not sure what the exact cost breakdown would be but its around 3k usd with the things i had done with it including the machine shop expenses amd aftermarket upgrades. My parts sources was mostly from: Thezstore.com (majority of the rebuild parts and stage III cam kit) Datsungarage.com Zcarsource.com Jegs.com (for the .020" silvolite pistons) Lightweight flywheel i got off a google search. Head studs were from ARP Tuning4performance.com was where i got the mikuni jets and rebuild kits. A lot of the other stuff i had on hand from just scavenging parts over time. The books, tools and chemicals i used are linked in the video description. If i missed something let me know and ill update the links. There are some tedious measurements and things i omitted from the videos on purpose so i highly recommend following the factory service manual and the guides when doing the valve geometry, shimming the cam towers if the cylinder head deck was machined more than .010" (shims are in .005" increments i believe) and checking main & conn rod to bearing tolerances. Lessons learned: If you have brass intake seats on the head have those changed to steel. Bring the timing cover with the engine block to get decked at the same time. Have 1/32" thick gasket sheet handy, some kits dont come with everything, i had to make the gasket that goes between the timing chain tensioner body and engine block.

If I had four thumbs they would all be up! Excellent build videos!
Wow, thanks!
Thanks for coming to the comments section, this build has been a fun one.
Honda bond is the best stuff in the game!! A little bit goes a long way!🙏🏻❤️
Honda bond is some good stuff!
This is brilliant.
Thank you for this video it was very helpful
I appreciate the feedback and im glad it provided something :)
Great video…like the flang washers!

Well done!
This is like the first motor you've
ever put together , right ?...... lol
First L24, otherwise it was mostly sbc and motorcycle engines.
Well done!
Thanks man!
