Detailed K24 Engine Teardown (COMPLETE GUIDE)

[@JetFuelOnly]

As someone who struggles to keep his videos short, I’m amazed that you just did a whole engine tear down in a 15 min video.

[@milanmastracci]

LOL thank you!

[@溆易焱]

谢谢！

[@davenrussell866]

This is the MOST comprehensive video on a k series teardown I have found

[@Midnightsnack456]

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!!

[@milanmastracci]

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 🤞

[@Microphunktv-jb3kj]

... so.. you're planning to die young then ?

[@daskamu]

I just disassembled mine last night , first time ever I’m here to gain some knowledge. Thank you for everything from Australia

[@PROofHAPPYWHEELS]

how did you go?

[@BellozeCountry]

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!

[@-fixcarsdiy-1095]

Glad i'm not the only one who bags all the bolts, nuts, plugs, small parts and then signs the bags with specifics! Such a good practice.

[@Domino81]

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.

[@milanmastracci]

Thanks Anthony! I appreciate it :)

[@SOCAL_SHORTS_FACTORY]

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.

[@milanmastracci]

They're coming brother 👊

[@ryansilvis5369]

But this k24z3 block is out of an acura tsx right? It's not the same as the r40 in the accord correct?

[@4doorSi]

I’ll bet $100 those plastic pieces are from an oil fill cap that broke off and fell in. Billet caps are awesome.

[@milanmastracci]

That's something I'll need to get!

[@turboearl]

no its not from oil cap

[@austinkimbrough8558]

Probably an old Time-cert that broke off into the oil pan when someone stripped the oil drain plug.

[@zoneb609]

Exactly. It's from an oil cap that broke, seen that happen and they really look like oil cap threads

[@HoweDoYouDo1999]

Billet caps breh yasssss bling bling 😂😂😂😂

[@averyalexander2303]

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.

[@fishjohn014]

Yep, honda oil caps get super brittle in the cold

[@tomheckhaus7617]

Hi Milan, I've taken apart many Chevrolet small block V8 engines from 265 cu in in the 1955 Chevrolet to 283 and 327's. Every one, even those well taken care of always had sludge everywhere. In spite of the tiny bit of sludge you found I was amazed to see how clean that engine was inside. A tribute to modern day detergent oils. Good luck with this project. Tom U.S.A.

[@milanmastracci]

Hey Tom. If you think this engine here is clean, boy do I have good new for you!! When I did the timing chain on my Honda, the engine was SOOOO much cleaner with literally ZERO sludge. I can only imagine how bad the old chevy small blocks were!

[@expert20valvehlx]

When removing head studs you should remove them in reverse order of installing. It's alloy head and it can twist if you don't do it in order

[@adamy4162]

expert20valvehlx like in the alpha twin spark😉

[@expert20valvehlx]

@@adamy4162 haha no, ts head have more holes for more sparks and they are not pron to twist as a normaln bead but again i do it like that just in case

[@lcka9827]

Hey milan whats up with the rest of the k24z3 build with the dual vtech head were waiting for more content bro.

[@neloviolence]

I don't even own a k-series car but found this fascinating and interesting. You should turn this into a series and teardown all the iconic motors

[@TURBOTRISTO]

Great video man well spoken clear and factual! No waffle or bs just a perfect video

[@mitchellsavage313]

I was cringing how u were using channel locks to pull those cam caps !!!!

[@milanmastracci]

What tool would you recommend?

[@mitchellsavage313]

@@milanmastracci tap them with a rubber hammer or a dead blow .or lift up on the cam works too

[@theakh4238]

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.

[@honestbuiltperformance1819]

@@milanmastracci i use the bolts

[@Rudenutts]

[@EricGlowacki1]

I appreciate your thorough explanations throughout the teardown

Thanks Eric! I'm happy to hear that

[@frankishsid2692]

Excellent tutorial. The man knows his stuff. And very strong too. I saw you lift that block! Lol. Good job brother.

Great video, very detailed process.

[@harrisonwells8261]

Thanks for letting me know I'm supposed to mark the crank before pulling the pistons

[@joshuaspringer1116]

Thank you for this video! I got a free Honda from family and it has really bad blow by! This video has helped me a long the way with my rebuild. I am not a mechanic just a guy trying to save some money 😅

[@milanmastracci]

Glad it helped Joshua! Good luck with the rebuild

[@DreamKeeper.]

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.

[@treelineresearch3387]

I've seen little magnetic dishes, military lunch trays, cardboard with holes, solo cups, and everything else..."bag and tag" beats them all and I'll be using that in the future for any disassembly.

[@djbassickz]

What a professional video! You had my attention the whole time. You are 5 Star Restaurant good, just WOW.

[@probong2053]

so i searched on google on bing and multiple different forums. your the only one to tell me the difference between a 2008 tsx and a 2009 tsx. and for that im gonna subb to u. when it came to this question i had it took nearly 30 mins of searching to find out the damn name of the engine of a 2009 tsx. k24z3 for 2009- whatever i dont care k24a2 2004-2008 and u even showed the block and how it attaches differently then the k24a2. thanks alot i cant believe its so difficult to find this simple info on any search engine.

[@xX1GR1MR34P3RXx]

They make a weighted socket for taking the crank bolt out. Has worked for me every time.

[@samster978]

Legend !! As a DIYer these videos really help I can appreciate the detail and effort into making these videos.

You need a weighted socket for that harmonic balancer I think the proper term is a "inertia socket"... It'll bust it right loose.

Glad it was helpful!

[@dave0z96]

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 .

[@milanmastracci]

Thanks for sharing! On a large engine, I can see why a 3/4" impact might be needed, but I think these Honda bolts are on too tight.

[@olee_stunts]

quick and well done!, looks like an oil cap broke and fell in the engine

[@zoneb609]

Indeed!!!

[@nmarkose]

I highly recommend you tackle the crank pulley bolt FIRST before attempting to disassemble the engine.

[@NuclearFluffy]

I find it kinda hilarious how similar these are to the N14B16 and N18B16. Would be kinda neat seeing a similar video series on their takedown and differences!

[@MrEvtmazda]

Rubber bands work well for holding together the VTec rockers also

[@elduran8686]

Your video on breakdown is awesome Milan! It helped narrow down my huge oil leak on 05 TSX. Don’t know if leak is from crankshaft seal or timing chain cover 😢 but vid helped see what it could be. I’m a simple wrencher for brakes and simple stuff. Only wish you my engine was out to make it look as easy in vid 😂. Greeting from Cali San Diego

[@igiboyvlogs1995]

Where’s the 2nd part for building the k24 complete guide? 😊

Great video. You’re incredibly knowledgeable on this stuff. Subscribed!

[@milanmastracci]

Welcome aboard! Thanks Scott 👊

[@Richard-wk9le]

Looks like someone liked to get their oil changes at Jiffy Lube, the plastic pieces in the oil pan are most likely timing chain tension pieces or the oil pump chain.

[@rolledbrim2326]

Got a question, I realize this is a complete teardown video but I was wondering if the girdle will come come off without taking out the connecting rods and crankshaft? I have a leak coming from a certain area where the girdle meets the block.

[@Kahnklingon84]

Those plastic pieces are probably pieces of a old gasket that went brittle. My valve cover gasket looked just like that when i went to change it.

[@gufiaito69able]

Man this is awesome you are confidence inspiring I will watch all of this build series today

[@knockoutcustoms7477]

They look like the guides that were supposed to be on that lower oil pump chain or one of the timing chain tensioners is missing it's wear surface

[@audiemuniz6445]

Amazing! You did very good job amigo! Keep it up.like to see everything put it back together.

This video was super beginner friendly. I appreciate the small detailed explanations! 🙏💯

[@garrettmehan3904]

How would you recommend SAFELY removing all that burnt oil man! I’m doing this to my k24a right now. Regardless, this video has probably saved multiple headaches. ❤️

Cómo se llaman esos sensores del minuto 8:10? What’s The name of sensor minute 8:10? 🙏🏻

[@jerrysteinberg5603]

Would it be unwise to heat up that crank bolt, or any crank bolt when trying to remove?

[@sivacharan1000]

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!

[@benbauer1257]

They make additives but imo they're never going to be 100%

[@monikhushalpuri]

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

[@protofreak9518]

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!

[@phxrsx]

What incredible engineering

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!

[@AtanasDimitrov954RR]

Great video. However don't ever use WD40. It is water based thus causing corrosion. Trans fluid is 👌

Those plastic pieces are from the chain guides.

[@milanmastracci]

Chain guides seem fine. A lot of people have commented it could be an old oil cap that was over torqued.

[@milanmastracci]

[@fredrikgrende8654]

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.

[@milanmastracci]
