I have never seen any 2 people more excited about building a k series that these guys, and I'm glad I found this video. I'm building my 1st k series, a k24a1, and I got an RBB-3 head for it. I took the valvetrain out and all the pins n springs fell out just like he said. I'm going to put a type s oil pump on it too. lucky for me I don't have to cut it.
I just got a fg2 there's alot of misinformation on a k24 swap. This video was direct and clear. I personally appreciate Jroc and Sonic dropping knowledge. Real g's
My favorite and only video on youtube right now! no emotional long talkings, no homophobic sensitivity and no sponsorship/merch like type begs. Str8 to the point with details to the T and i's. Great job Jroc and sonic grateful with thanks!
cleaning valves.. Drill & bench grinder with wire wheel Put the valve into the drill and and spin up while hitting the wire wheel. You will see if a valve is bent and they’ll clean like new
I'm freaking impressed with y'alls shop! Can tell work gets done and aint nothing sloppy. Everything off the cars looks wrapped up. Even the seams around the base of the lifts and base of the work benches free of oil scum. Even school wasn't that clean!
You want the 06-08 TSX block because its hands down the better block. Better crankcase ventilation, under piston oil squirters, better aggressive cams, the strongest OEM connecting rods.
Jroc asked how the valves are cleaned. At my old cylinder head shop we used a tumbler that used pea sized shot with kerosene. The valves came out as nice as new every time, ready to have a new face and tip cut. We'd also throw the springs, retainers and keeper in with them. The keepers were put inside something we called an "egg" that was basically two PVC caps that screwed together, with small holes drilled all over it to allow the kerosene in.
You not rambling Sonic if you giving us all GEMS. Thanks. Don’t know K’s like I do the B and D’s so videos like THIS a huge help. Please make more videos like this.
@@sonic_203 Bro, I had a quick question? I tried to find the tear down video of THIS engine. Because you say about not buying aftermarket valve keepers. To use oem Honda keepers instead. Long story short my K20a2 I bought dual springs and titanium retainers for . Dude that made the kit say you need Aftermarket keepers for kit. Can I use my stock keepers and be fine? My K 20a2 a later one w/o factory dual springs. Thanks Bro in advance. Peace
Wow this is so great to listen to you guys share what you know. I'm 18 and have been learning about how to build since I was 11. Thank you SO MUCH. Subscribed :)
Super sick! I do the valve adjustment on my S2K. The previous owner had the number 4 cylinder exhaust too tight and it burned up the intake side valves. Very costly. It's important to make sure it's correct. Good Stuff!
Super dope video! I've literally been wanting a video like this from you guys. showing a little bit more of the behind the scenes motor build...I've gotten k fever since I've been watching y'all..hope to get into one soon. Much love 😎🤙
Let me know how it turns out please, just bought same engine but i beleive PPA head will need a v-tech killer, i might end up ussing a ported K20 head with all these parts on the vid. Good luck with your built!
We have and are absolutely doing this at home and in the street. Also, little known fact, when you put the VTC solenoid in the engine is supposed to go "hooyeeeea"
👍👍 Very nice video y'all! I love how you share your experiences with us and your attention to detail is no other K build I have ever seen! Keep up the great work!
Why does the 04 burn more oil? First time viewer, I love how you made sure to teach us inexperienced viewers. Absolute goldmine of information. Thank you!
Have an 04 tsx, and I can't figure out why, but it doesn't burn ANY oil. 185k And I drive it hard sometimes, but nothing. 185k miles and still feels like a new car.
i like you guys. nice dry humor. Love the knowledge you are sharing. Ill sub for sure and use all the videos you put up to help me with my build next year. I want to try and find a good specimen of a 1995 civic hatchback with power windows and sunroof, A\C and power steering, then swap in an engine like the one you are doing in this video. What a fun car to drive it would be! Definately doing crazy subs! I am planning for my midlife crisis car lMAO
Loved the video, thank you guys for doing this. I have a K24a2 from a '07 TSX that I have on the stand for my '82 E21, this build is primarily for auto cross/ road racing. Bought the KPower rwd conversion kit and just need a clutch kit and drive line. For the engine though, I have done nothing to it yet and will follow along with what the video showed to do.
Never seen or heard of this channel but it was in my recommended. Looks like the algorithm is actually working right and gave me a new channel and video that it knew I’d like. Love the connection between you and the jrod or jroc homie and when you find that natural combination it makes for a tree at channel! Keep up the quality and keep the content flowing homies. Much love from California 🎊 ❤🎉😂
If you mainly watch popular and famous channels and videos then it will recommend more of that to you and it makes RUclips more money by getting the videos more views and advertisements that companies pay to have RUclips out on their videos and it keep RUclips, a business on their feet and pay their employees
It’s important to clean the cams with a solvent like brake cleaner before installing. There coated in a rust proofing that can prevent oil from making proper contact
@TheMrmagic101 I've heard of many people doing the 50 deg and it being okay. I wanted to be safer and go with 45 deg. In case something happens with the timing. I've read the K24A2 doesn't use much timing past 40 deg anyway...? Stock is a 25 deg vtc.
@@TheMrmagic101 Definitely do the Type S oil pump. I got mine done with the whole kit from KPower. I was lazy and didn't want to notch the pump. They do it for you.
@TheMrmagic101 I'd like to build my head as well, but I'm just gonna enjoy it while I save. I'm guessing a good redline with the Type S pump is around 8k?
I used to have a DC5 but now I have a TL type S that I daily and I really like the sound of the J series but the K series sounds great. Lots of people like the B which I think has a louder crossover sound.
My son recently bought a 91 MR2 that was K swapped, it's one of those Frankenstein builds I think with a K24 bottom and a K20 top end and of course a six speed. I don't know wtf is going on with the trans but it's the sloppiest manual trans I've ever driven in my life, and I've driven lots of em. I don't know if it's just the shifter or...? Anyway it's set up for the track, has Wilwood brakes bigass tires, it's twitchy af and also stupid fast without any boost ( yet ) Just discovered y'alls channel n you got a new sub ✌
I got a jdm k24a rbb2 and I swear I remember when I was changing the springs and retainers to supertech I ran into the issue that the stock keepers didn’t fit. I had to use the supertech keepers.
I love that you guys have 3 blue EG's. I have a blue 92 si for a track car. its pretty sorted (for road course), but it only had a b18c5. I wish a Kswap was a little more affordable. Maybe someday!

Im from jersey, we got a guy named fischer automotive machine shop and hes amazing. Cant cheap out and expect good results. Having a good machine shop is definitely a must.
I've had 04-05 and 06-08 k24a2 motors and beat on both of them never noticed the oil burning in the 04-05 at all.. the 06-08 has the nicer intake cam and bigger intake valve but no oil burning issues in the first gen ...
@@sonic_203 after a series of unfortunate events, I'm dropping a k24a in my 8th gen Si, type s pump, 50° VTc, new timing components, headgasket, studs, full race 3 in exhaust, hybrid racing 3.5in intake, RBC manifold, Plm header. Hoping for at least 230.
A video with a build list for a 300, 400, 500 HP K-series would be good, just talking through the parts what to buy what to avoid and all that.

I just bought a nice Honda accord with a K24! Nice engine pulls the car plenty good enough and gets 25-30 mpg! I like it!
Your accord has the low power k24, 160hp. The one you want is 205hp stock from the Acura tsx or 12+ civic si

Love the channel you guys rock 💯👍👍👍🇵🇷
I used rubber bands for my rockers. Just don't leave them for a long time or the oil impregnates them and they break apart.
Reason why breaking the head bolts by hand and in sequence because it’ll prevent the head from warping
Maybe use paper towels for that magnet trick, just incase it does crack. Brilliant trick btw! Ill definitely remember that one lol

only a b18c5 man wth I love those things just boost it they love some spoolies
Kswap is cheap as F for Hondas.. a k24a2 is less than a grand. Try swapping into a rwd platform, thats when it's spendy. I want a k rx8.
