Simple yet informative. Nonchalant yet calculated. You don’t just throw shit together. Thanks for the info!

[@saulreynoso4371]

Man, this is cool. Always thought a k20 was very intimidating to work on, but you made it look really easy. Great job.

[@Rawrkee]

Thanks bro! It's only intimidating when you think too much about it, sometimes you just gotta dive and start making it happen :D

[@saulreynoso4371]

@Rawrkee yeah I know. That's also how I feel about changing my clutch on my 8th gen Si. It looks so intimidating. Maybe one day I'll get the courage to change it.

[@Rawrkee]

SAMEEEEE, I bought a clutch kit for the Si awhile back but since I got a z3 trans for the prelude kswap, I'ma just use it on the prelude instead because I don't feel like taking apart the civic rn haha @@saulreynoso4371

[@saulreynoso4371]

@@Rawrkee I get. Seems like you have a lot of stuff going on. It's cool that you can do so many projects to your cars. Keep up the good work.

[@StratusDjinn]

I have been wanting to swap my 00 Prelude but have been hesitating, So glad you put these videos up!! I'll be starting my swap in the spring.

[@bigbrownbull]

You are a beast 💪 keep up the motivation

[@Rawrkee]

Thanks bro!

[@ferminperez2022]

Been watching your videos. My son has a 5th gen Prelude. He has been contemplating having it machined and rebuilt, or a k swap. Which TLX number series block is that? Great videos. Keep them coming 😁🤙🏼

[@jefftrump5779]

Yo!!! Love the video I’m in the process of rebuilding my Mazdaspeed 3 motor. Your video help motivate me to get after it!! Plus they are fun to watch keep it up man!!

[@Rawrkee]

THanks bro, glad you enjoyed the video! Good luck on the rebuild, once it's done, you won't have to worry about it for awhile :D

[@victorsabala2108]

9th gen si intake cam gear is also 50 degrees

[@universetechnique]

Three weeks and a one day job. Playing that waiting game so gotta do better than that. Got the viewers waiting too. We all know you can do it. Finally research pays off keep going. You know you got it to the finish line. Lets see you start that engine later.

[@ze_german2921]

I restored a 97 Prelude and told myself, if I was going to do it again that a K24 swap is a Must

[@BulliKid]

Good stuff!!!

[@Rawrkee]

Thanks bro! Preciate the support!

[@BulliKid]

@@Rawrkee haha for sure!! Guess what! I picked up the engine stand last week from HF

[@Rawrkee]

@@BulliKid nice bro!! Time to build a k24 on the side? 😆

[@BulliKid]

@@Rawrkee don’t got it like that yet haha. But good luck on your project!

[@madbeat5]

Nice video bro'.... can't wait on more Fa5 content... but this prelude swap seems promising

[@jonhromeo6108]

Cool guy 👌 new sub

[@RedSharkBlue]

I’m just about to start k swapping my prelude as well so I like being able to watch you go along with the process as well. Have you thought about the mounts you’re gonna use because that’s the only trouble I’m thinking of running into

[@strokingoutloudpodcast]

Those marks on the bearings are called scoring. It’s basically where there wasn’t enough proper oil flow to the bearings to have them lubricated enough while they were spinning. Chances are that tensioner broke and the engine lost the oil pump and wasn’t running the proper oil pressure to all those bearings properly.

[@strokingoutloudpodcast]

Also awesome choice to go k. I have a f20b in my 5th gen but if I had the money I would have went k obviously

[@Rawrkee]

Bro, I really hope so! I’ve been debating if I should send the whole thing to get machined but I guess we’ll find out after she’s in 😆 And yeah man, I’ve spent so much so far that I’m starting to budget on some parts for now >_

[@cbdreamer1709]

Duh! Jk

[@bricecarr9785]

Love the voice over. Very power block.

[@Rawrkee]

Heck yeah, can't wait to get it runnin and then go boost!

[@anthonycha8857]

Hope that rebuild don’t fail within a few hundred miles. Those are too tight of a tolerance. I would shoot for .0015in for mains and rod bearing clearances. Better to go on the loose side of things than a spun bearing.

[@Jdub169]

just curious i also own a 2000 prelude sh and was wondering about the wiring like how difficult is the k swap on these> id like to do a swap but would like to retain most of the oem controls in mine such as cluster and heat and all that

[@Rawrkee]

I’m actually working on the wiring now. It’s a pretty simple concept. You need an engine harness, charge harness, and conversion harness. The conversion harness is how the k series ecu and engine will communicate with the chassis. It’s only like 9 wires and I’m pretty confident that I figured out how they’re setup. Can’t confirm until the swap is done though

[@dylanshurvell7887]

what model of k24 is this

[@jonremien235]

Just curious. Last I read there isn't aftermarket motor mounts. I've heard people fab them up? Is there an aftermarket motor mount now or what's your plan? Also curious about the tranny. Is the h22 compatible or do you got to go after that too? Intrigued and curious. I'm feeling fairly slow in my prelude. 😢

[@Rawrkee]

no, there currently isn't a kswap kit for 5th gen preludes but Hasport has been mentioning it in their videos that they're working on one. I'll be using the 4th k swap kit from Hasport which will require me to create one bracket. And no, you must use a k series transmission, I'll be using the 8th gen civic si transmission on this swap. I know what you mean, the prelude feels super slow compared to my civic which is heavier haha

[@Rico0chet]

how much did all the parts come out to in cost?

[@Rico0chet]

If I were to go with a K24 build like this, what exactly would I need to do to make this "Emissions" capable?

[@infinite540]

Can you pass smog with it? What state are you in?

[@Rawrkee]

It depends on how strict your state is. In Cali, people said you have to retain all of the RSX original components for emissions along with an unmodified ecu. I’m in North Carolina now but I’m not sure of the smog requirements here 😬

[@jonathanallen2604]

If it's not too late, you should get a lower timing chain guide. Drag cartel.

[@Rawrkee]

THanks for the recommendation! Luckily, it's not too late, I won't seal the chain cover until the motor is ready to go in :D

[@jonathanallen2604]

@@Rawrkee will you be doing any valve lashing?

[@Rawrkee]

yes, for sure! I assume that the Drag Cartel Guide will help prevent the chain from popping off the crank gear?@@jonathanallen2604

[@jonathanallen2604]

@Rawrkee it will definitely reduce the risk. Plus it looks cool even though you'll never see it.

[@Rawrkee]

I ended up getting a budget friendly version on amazon for about $15 😅Thanks for lookin out! @@jonathanallen2604

[@randyhaynes1345]

Is this a k24a2??

[@Rawrkee]

Yes it is :D

[@victorsabala2108]

you timing chain is off yoo
