Watching this series AGAIN for the bazillionth time, making sure I remember everything, WORD-FOR-WORD, before I start my first ever K24 all-motor build next week.
How'd it go? I wanna build mine and everything actually seems pretty simple but choosing a cam is where I'm struggling otherwise once I figure that out I think it's go time.
Sergmotife, when you used that rust remover you also etched all the metal surfaces to include the bearing surface of your rods. It wouldn't surprise me if you didn't have a premature failure and spin a bearing or two unless you took a hone to the rod end. Anything that will eat rust will etch metal. Thanks for the program!
Really impressed with this build series, no parts left out, cut or skipped over, everything is through and makes it so easy that anyone could do it. Great video💯
I keep recommending this video series to people. I've watched a few DIY k-series engine builds now, and the detail that you include in these really makes it the most useful I've seen. Really appreciate the time that you put into making these. Thanks!
Spoke to a few engine builders and they all recommended upgrading wrist pins when going force induction. The regular wrist pins will start to bend a little from all the stress and make the pistons sound like it’s slapping. As for all motor, you should be good with the regular ones.
Serg: Glad to see you makin these vids, very informative! Also glad to see you in better spirits... just rewatched the disassembly and discovery of the flywheel. What a blow. The positives are that you can now redo anything you didn't like before and continue to show these great vids. Thanks for all your hard work, keep it up!
How do you not have more subs,is crazy. I'm starting to collect parts for my own frank build and your vids are definitely motivating and extremely helpful. I'll be hitting you up on ig pretty often for advice and guidance. My setup will be going into my daily ep3. Keep gunnin' and making those streets louder.
I have a k20 a2 wat do i need to do the k24 apart from. K24The block ? Wat block is best. K24 Side chain casing. K24 dipstick and rear gearbox mount ? Any info would be nice unless theres is a video i habe missed. Cheers all the way from Scotland
Serg, Thanks for the videos. In this video, you show you are going to use stronger wrist pins. Also, yiu are not using OEM rods, it appears. So the reciprocating weight (pistons, rings, wrist pins, wrist pin circlips, rods, rod bolts and rod bearings - all total) will be different than the OEM build, which was factory balanced by modification (holes) in the crankshaft counterweights. With this modified reciprocating weight, did you consider having the engine rebalanced?
Bro honestly thank you for such details videos!! Can not wait to dip my hands into a k24 im looking at and actually say I did the work myself....with your help too lol
Ur awesome brah- I wanna start my first build, I’m doin a k24 block on a type r k20 head- do u recommend buying a complete used k24 engine(tsx) or should I buy the block only? Do u have any advise? I know it’s a broad question but I wanna get started. Thank u
First rod-piston assembly that was done you had marked the rod and the piston but then you installed the rod on the wrong side of the piston, in other words your two marks weren't on the same side
Those are called Gudgeon Pins, friend. I wonder if teflon surface coating would help both on the piston head's gudgeon shaft hole and the 'wrist' pin (Gudgeon Pin). Scoring on the worn gudgeon is wear; I know, I kinda just state the obvious a lot...
Amazing videos! My K20A2 in my Type S just gave up the ghost so I’ve decided to start my K20/24 build. I have some questions. What’s the difference between buying a K24 block, and putting my K20 head on it, and buying a stock TSX motor? And also when doing the swap will I need to swap ECUs and wiring harness, or will my KPRO handle it?
Will be watching these vids while rebuilding my k20 On a side node I wanna swap my 2009 FD2 from auto to manual Any tips/recommendations This will be my first ever build
just coming back to your vids, i like the in depth detail, got a k24a sitting in my spare room ready to swap into my 8th gen. this version i have has stronger rods and 1mm bigger valves+ better cams, hoping to make aroun 230 wheel with RBC, intake, exhaust what do you think?
I know this video is from Jan but my question to you is. What the rotating assembly balanced? If so adding a heavy wrist pin would through the balance off. Is this something you accounted for?
I got wiseco upgraded wristpins for my build, and I cannot get the damn wristpin in for the life of me. Even after freezing the wristpin and heating the piston up an insane amount with a heat gun, I'm too scared to torch it tho. I feel like surely sanding can't be good for it though, right? I've never seen that anywhere else
Best k series channel on the tube, hands down! Ain't nobody gonna see your damn crank rods anyways bro. Great analogy on the wrist pins btw. Send that shit! 🤣
The moment i was waiting so long :) cant wait to see the bearing and main bearing installation and of course piston ring installation :) If it would be possible to explain how to take measurements of bearings, main bearings and piston rings? I want to rebuild my k24a3 engine (stock rebuild) and ive searched on ebay for bearings but come with different colors?!(black, red,blue, yellow etc..) I was told i need to take measurements first, also something similar requiered for piston rings, if you could please cover these questions on next video and show how to measure them would be really helpful!
I was doing all my homework and following your videos so that I could do an engine swap to my 2007 honda civic lx but sadly it has passed away to car heaven as it got totaled in a car wreck today :( . I'm okay though but it breaks my heart 💔
Subbed! Will be following closely. I'm rebuilding my engine myself so learning all I can. It's a Honda V6 but a lot of the core steps are the same. See you're in jersey too. Maybe we'll run across each other at an event 👍
I love the videos but i hate them lol. i want to build an rsxs but dont have one yet! Still great vids man i will be watching until the end, keep it up.
I'm looking to build my K24 in my 07 Accord and its an auto what do you recommend that I do I'm not looking to go crazy because it is my daily but I would love to do the build that your doing
How do you port a rod or a piston.Maybe the intake.He could weigh every rod and piston and make them all the same weight so it would be balanced.But then you must know where to take out weight on a rod or piston.Seeing his videos the guy is very good but im going out on a linb and say he has no idea where to take the weight of o piston or a rod.Also some engine s have a lighter piston on a piston or rod.usually the 1 that is 4 6 or 8.But love your vidoes and if you know where to drill or shave off weight excuse my dumbass .Love your honesty as i i hope you like mine.I would measure all the rod at 1/4 inch interval s that would tell you where to take off after getting all measurements

I'm looking to rebuild my K20 and just found your vids! Thanks for making such an in depth guide man and I'm looking forward to following the build!

Amazing job explaining DIY. It gives me a lot of confidence in my self, cause I like a lot doing things myself. Keep it up!!
I never seen a wrist pin failure before, those oem Honda parts are strong af.
😂 its all good

When you are done with the series im going to buy and build my own.

always informative and helpful Sergio! thanks for what you do!

Loving it bro, I'm taking notes and saving these vids for later. Thanks much!

I wish you have shown your parts list and brand and where you bought it might build my k20.

Awesome vid. Keep up the great work educating us.

I wonder if a boxer motor has more stress on the wrist pins since it's moving horizontally all the time... :/?
Hey! Whyd you take your pistons and rods to your machine shop? What did they do?
Why sand paper the inside of the piston for the wrist pin areas when you haven't used a micrometer.....??
no es necesario pesar los pistones y las vielas? , emparejar el peso?
Which rod bolts are you using? ARP only sells k20
I have a tiny bit of surface rust on some of my cams, how can I save them if possible?
I subscribed 😁 going to attempt my first build ever and save me some labor
bro this is awesome your videos are great. Best build video ever man.
I love the videos but i hate them lol. i want to build an rsxs but dont have one yet! Still great vids man i will be watching until the end, keep it up.
I'm looking to build my K24 in my 07 Accord and its an auto what do you recommend that I do I'm not looking to go crazy because it is my daily but I would love to do the build that your doing
Do you have a video or a link to all the parts you used for this built
Is the part # the same for a stock 87mm bore?
Love this build series 😎👌
Haha no wonder he went mad on sealing the block with oil on the previous video 😂
How much RPM would it be?
I'm building k24/k20 8600 rpm motor now with forged piston rods, Toda A3 camshafts, etc.
8600 sheesh I thought me wanting to make mine 8300 was too high
If you make the wrist pin strong what about the piston
13:08 the correct term is fillet 😁😁
😁😁
Honestly you r extra honest
How do you clock the rings?
What wrist pin did u use?
Lmao I'm not a boxer.... Definitely got the point across but damn that's funny
New drinking game, drink everytime he says wrist pin..
lovely
Can anyone share upgraded wrist pin part number?
I'm not a boxer lmaooooo are those the 9310 upgraded wrist pins?
Tragic
Port n polish them piston n rods
How do you port a rod or a piston.Maybe the intake.He could weigh every rod and piston and make them all the same weight so it would be balanced.But then you must know where to take out weight on a rod or piston.Seeing his videos the guy is very good but im going out on a linb and say he has no idea where to take the weight of o piston or a rod.Also some engine s have a lighter piston on a piston or rod.usually the 1 that is 4 6 or 8.But love your vidoes and if you know where to drill or shave off weight excuse my dumbass .Love your honesty as i i hope you like mine.I would measure all the rod at 1/4 inch interval s that would tell you where to take off after getting all measurements
No No No not wrist pin over here its called a gudgeon pin
Now I see why they call it a wrist pin 🤣
Wtf! Who puts chemical rust remover on rods? All you needed to do was put them in some oil. You had to have damaged the bearing surface.
