to be fair that's what they hired him for

[@amadancailin77]

That exhaust sits right behind the driver and ecu, which tends to cook the components in the ecu. That's probably why the exhaust was wrapped. There is an ecu harness extension that moves it away from the heat, just don't remember the site... also, honda jazz calipers make a good front break upgrade.

Good choice, a motorcycle engine swap would have been super fun also as long as you could get a reverse mechanism to fit in the chassis.

[@yongling9825]

Ben once said in an FB Story that a K-swap in a Beat is impossible due to the dimensions of the engine bay. When I saw the thumbnail, I was like "I thought you said it's impossible??", then we saw Mark roll in with a different engine.

Mark is a great host and the vibes are great. Almost reminds me of Ed China

[@chrishuyler3580]

Pretty sure that was the plan here. It's a good formula, can't blame them for trying it out...but could do without the click bait title.

[@ArodPR]

To check valve lash you have to turn each piston to compression stroke before measuring so the valves are completely closed and the feeler gauge can go in. That is why you found the lash super loose even after double checking.

[@CubanRider]

3:18 learned something new after all these years, had no idea a 75W-90 gear oil was roughly the same viscosity as 10W-40 engine oil. Awesome refresh, that was a lot of wrenching time condensed in 16 minutes.

[@jamesbutler4017]

I’m a Honda guy and watching him put in 75w90 Just hurts my soul. Short term everything should be fine. However, you were going to develop shifting issues. The synchro are going to work correctly because of the thick oil. This is going to lead to grinding of gears. I hope you read this before you guys drive this thing.

[@zachogdahl210]

Not just that he also got the limited slip 75w90 which is going to shred the synchros as well

[@Franface31]

I wish they could see this

[@fededz7884]

Hi, I'm curious, what grade of oil they should put in instead the 75w90?

[@deciplesteve]

If that's GL-5 gear oil (I'm 90% certain it is), I hope his synchros are able to withstand the additives. I literally just replaced my transmission after running this oil not knowing it was specifically meant for differentials, not transmissions.

[@jamesbutler4017]

@@fededz7884 Honda has specific transmission fluid that they use that use a certain friction modifiers. You can also use synchromesh which I believe is made by Valvoline.

[@fsfs555]

As with most period Hondas, distributor bearings are a major failure point on the E07A, so you should probably check it. It's not too hard to change. The E07Z variant was available with both a turbo and COP ignition. I always thought it'd be fun to swap one in with a MS (particularly because ECU failure is also a period Honda failure point), especially if I could keep the ITB setup as well.

[@pv4083]

I’m loving these new vibes coming from this channel 👍

[@Patrick94GSR]

Honda valvetrains tend to be clackity when cold. But it’s also easy to miss the clearance on a valve even after thinking you double checked everything. I’ve definitely done it a time or three. But also the rocker arms are supposed to be loose like that, due to the cold valve lash clearance.

[@josephmatuszak3855]

Something I've learned about synthetic oil after making an old engine run again.... flush that oil at 2000mi or earlier the first time... it will flush a ton of garbage out, especially if the engine had a lot of varnish or carbon in the rings and stuff.

I wasn’t too keen on mark when he first came on the channel but I’ve got to say he’s grown on me and the channel is all the better for the content he does.

[@rudy_dstroys1821]

I've seen and read on a magazine of a Honda Beat with a K20 swap, probably almost 20 years ago for use in Gymkhana. I lost that magazine but this isn't the first time it has been done. Many enthusiasts are having a hard time figuring out how to drop a K series engine. I did read about some Honda Beat Owners in Japan dropping in a B18C engine with more ease.

[@giancarlolugo9586]

This K series Honda beat looks amazing its basically a mini mid engine transaxle S2000

Hey, just a little tip. I run the Full Synthetic High Milage Valvoline oil in my T4 Turbo motor, and I see about a 10° drop on average compared to the advanced synthetic.

[@gizzardfan7349]

Best channel we got kids

[@poptartmcjelly7054]

First thing to do with a used engine is to check the cleanliness inside because that shows if it had been maintained. And since it's out also the main and big end bearings, because knowing their condition just brings confidence in the engine. Assuming they're good or, if bad, and you replaced them. Also for a used engine i highly recommend running it with diesel engine oil for the first oil change. Diesel oils have higher detergent content and help clean sludge from the engine, especially if you have noisy hydraulic lifters.
