[@adamsondergaard8159]

Black looks good! Still cant wait to see this one finished

[@blos90]

Just close your eyes and listen from 9:30 to 9:48...

[@WelshyAutomotive]

Lmao that was comical.

[@Jeremeytickle27]

This is the greatest thing ever 😂😂😂😂

[@centexsc5064]

Digging the black cover. Should look pretty sweet offsetting the red. Great job guys.

[@JamesDownes]

This vid is so satisfying. All the good bits

[@thomasmarlin7438]

Love it guys. I always enjoy watching your channel!

[@BoostedDc4]

Love the informative vids!!! Keep up the awesome tutorials/work 💪🏽

[@GarageBuiltMr2s]

Glad to see it coming closer. Almost got my k Mr2 done again lol

[@The_True_]

That K is looking better and better! Can't wait to see where this build leads!

[@speedacademy]

We're slowly getting closer.

[@The_True_]

Speed Academy for me it seems relatively fast, I couldn't make that much progress in that timeframe for a variety of reasons. So keep up the great work and you'll be properly ripping that 240 Tec in no time, and I'll be cheering for every lap! 🚗💨💨🙋

[@ggre2675]

Awesome video guys

[@PK-R]

Smashed it ten times!!

[@josiahmartin8620]

I painted mine black too. I love the look

[@caseyhogan2142]

I am trying to turbo my k24a1, this is very helpful for building the motor! Thanks a bunch

[@speedacademy]

Glad we could help!

[@krakdaus5442]

I'm so glad your channel is growing been here for a long time I looove your shit!!

[@speedacademy]

Thank you!

[@pFbSpecV]

I have always wonder how to do the type s oil pump and this video helps so much!! Thank you!!

[@speedacademy]

Glad you found it useful!

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!! Great pump and stuff....

[@lb9gta307]

The black timing cover looks good. It'll have a nice flow with the black valve cover.

[@PowellMoore]

The black looks good man

[@DJW411]

Guys, I do love your content, but it seems like your builds are never ending. I can’t remember the last time your did consistent track day vids like before (I’m sure you are also aware of this). I do still enjoy your content though. It would be great if you could reduce the amount of projects on the go to have more track day vids (Easy for me to say). That 5 day event across Canada with the BRZ a few years back was perfect 👌🏾. Keep up all your hard work though, I’ll shut up now 👍🏾.

[@mentals555]

DW411 >dark skin emojis >being ungrateful for the amazing content Speed Academy blesses us with >i m a g i n e m y s h o c k

[@shadowxps]

They talk about this in the recent tune up episode, I can't wait for some track day goodness either

[@SeanPhelps-qh2eu]

DW411 preach brother... preach🙌🙌

[@speedacademy]

We're got a wave of track videos coming but if those track event video series would have done better then we'd produce more but it seems like the build series are what the audience watches the most.

[@SeanPhelps-qh2eu]

Speed Academy builds garage queens.. DP are you my dad?

[@scadieee]

Someone needs to make a collage of people torquing automotive bolts, for some reason it brings the mind as ease for me

[@speedacademy]

haha that would be a good video.

[@Kenny_thingispossible]

What size bolts did you use to hold the engine to the stand

[@pavel1809]

Thank you for the video is very clear

[@speedacademy]

Glad it's simple to understand.

[@relif.8937]

I’m not able to find the tractuff oil chain baffle, do they not make it anymore?

[@coreyholsinger4675]

Can that timing chain tensioner be changed through that tensioner access plate?

[@WelshyAutomotive]

Are the K24A2 and K20A2 Timing Tensioners the same?

[@Boostlee]

just in time, im about to start a k20/k24 setup with a rsx oil pump

[@jordanjorge959]

Do i need to set the timing after removing the oil pump?

[@edimax45]

Hey i have question : all K series have the same oil pomp i am asking because my k20z2 oil pomp is broken from unknown reasons . Main question is Can i use k20z4 in exchange of my original ?

[@glenc2353]

You mentioned loctite on the windage tray bolts. Blue okay? Any torque specs on the tray? What size bolt for the plug?

[@jj77798]

Is the windage tray the same for k20/k24 ?

[@aaronp9835]

How much would this cost on a base rsx 5 speed if i already have a hondata. Ive already done CAI, type s TB, RBC, PLM RH, HKS Hi power, type s injectors, oil pump, fuel pump And hondata. Now do i do K20a2 head/cams or just and full K20a2?

[@vongdong10]

I sure hope there's a startup next episode.

[@senorwaffles1970]

What type oil cover yall using

[@EB240]

Black looks good! paint the rest of the block

[@nebulae1992]

im having the timing chain and tensioner replaced on my tsx, i ordered a kit, does it require taking off the valve cover? i need to know if i need a new valve cover gasket as well. thanks

[@speedacademy]

Yes you will need to take the valve cover off.

[@mabast007]

09:04 is he putting enough bond on the surface that prevents oil leaks?

[@rotellat7389]

Front cover looks good painted black

[@hondofourfivetwo9347]

Maybe I missed it in an episode are you running the stock K24a2 VTC sprocket? If so any plans to change it and the cams or is it a get it installed and running in the 240 before making other changes ? (I know I heard possible Turbo in the future)

[@speedacademy]

Getting it running is the plan, not really sure if we're doing cams so dont see the advantage of changing the gear out unless we do cams?

[@gbjl26]

black timing cover reminds me of the black plastic B-series timing cover, no issues there!

[@speedacademy]

Yes great reference!

[@ezartperformance2062]

What RPM max you can pull this k24?

[@ericxiong6582]

setting timing on a K series is actually easier than I anticipated.

[@TruckThisGarage]

Question? If it’s TDC and everything is timed and adjusted where it’s suppose to be? Why does it matter how the chain lines up? Is that a dumb question?

[@carlbenz3341]

Turbo oil drain already in the pan....

[@derekkraft73]

At 4:55 you torque down the oil pump chain guide. All data and all other repair guides I have looked at say that those two bolts are M8x1.25 bolts with a torque spec of 16ft lbs. I found out the hard way that 16 ft lbs is way too much, and snapped the bolt. I then discovered that those two bolts on my engine are M6x1.0 bolts, not M8x1.25. What did you torque those down to? I am likely going to torque mine to 8.7ft lbs, which is what the torque spec is of the timing chain guide bolts, which are also also M6x1.0 bolts. The car I'm working on is an 08 accord 2.4 K24Z2 (I believe not PZEV).

[@Boostlee]

You are missing a rbc 50 degree vtc which is a must for making good power.

[@shobud7561]

You say watch the previous video ? Where is it ?

[@jakeblaha9233]

Have you guys ever heard of adding another click of tension by slightly prying more tension on the chain after pulling the pin? If so, any thoughts on if it's a good or bad idea?

[@speedacademy]

Dont get how that would do anything as the tensioner is based on hydraulic pressure and will move in and out so adding a click shouldnt matter.

[@Dragonfabb]

you guys check valve lash?

[@speedacademy]

No! Will do that though, good call.

[@christophercasale7961]

Like the world's ULTIMATE CUP OF COFFEE BLACK

[@kenniswilliams182]

Hey guys, wouldn't the S2000 kraftwerks kit bolt up to this? Please do a boost build.

[@speedacademy]

Dont think so because the SC plate is meant for a F20

[@yondaimehokage3343]

7:32..i rewind it again 5 times,so satisfying,FUHHH!..LOL

[@etwoodson213]

Surprised while doing the timing you guys didn't choose to to a lower chain guide for some insurance...will also make doing cams tons easier

[@speedacademy]

Never even thought of it!

[@Limeayy]

Is that Timing Cover aftermarket or what? The satin black one.

[@speedacademy]

Stock one

[@brandonstewart7145]

Why does everyone skip over the oil pump tensioner part😢. Do you pull the tensioner clip and the torque the bolts down?

[@Cossiedude]

need the "extra" intro :O

[@abiel.rodriguez]

Could you please specify the exact torque wrench used? I need one for low torques, your description is missing that part. Thanks

[@speedacademy]

It's just a standard 1/4-inch inch/lb torque wrench. amzn.to/2AgnM6d

[@abiel.rodriguez]

Speed Academy tnx

[@blos90]

Magnesium gold for the cover

[@mrmidnight32]

Have fun with that paint, I did the same exact thing for my turbo 350z timing cover. 6 months in and it’s already peeling. I haven’t even hit s track day yet. No way that’s ganna last for you guys.

[@speedacademy]

What type of paint did you use? We put Eastwood Chassis coating paint on it which is supposed to resist chipping.

[@BlackyBrownDestruction9337]

Everybody's switching to Hondas or swapping in one cus other cars sound like and are built like, a Harley.

[@tireflipper8000]

Why no RBC 50 degree vtc?

[@speedacademy]

Stock cams not needed right now?

[@tireflipper8000]

Generally, with an RBC like manifold (s2k in your case) you can advance the cam in the mid range and gain a decent amount of torque. Its almost always a significant amount more than the standard RBB vtc can supply@25 degrees. Although that Nissan may not be able to handle all that TEC rippin’ ...25 might be a safe start for her 😛

[@1Krsna8]

bout damn time yuhll got back to the 240 😑

[@dubon.johnathan]

Aluminum paint

[@mx3autozam]

Guys. Why not a new timing chain? That one is mega strected. Look how loose it is when installing around the crank before the tensioner is on. Also how far the tensioner came out when you pulled the pin. I'd highly recommend a new one if your going to race.

[@Gettoharcos]

Nooooo, where is the bounus intro music for the s14 build ?????

[@Dragonfabb]

yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeet

[@StanleyKubick1]

yay, wrenching. why doesn't the valve cover fit anymore?

[@oyurcha1]

Ace Futura because of all the vtecs that are overflowing.

[@speedacademy]

Dave didnt push it down hard enough

[@Kuldeep_Giri]

Built turbo k24=1000hp

[@primotripleta7649]

OEM Tenssioner? i though they fail

[@speedacademy]

They're the most reliable for us.

[@joshcoyne6840]

Your really not going to give the torc specs? Smh

[@mikeydeshon5637]

Way didn't y'all rotate the engine over and recheck the time Mark's?? I guess my Mitsubishi engine is different. But after you pull the pin in the tentioner. You rotate the Crank 6 times back to TDC. And recheck the marks. And do a measurement from the hydraulic tentioner to the tentioner pully arm. It's super important. One tooth of can make it run terrible. Two teeth off. And you bend valves on start up.

[@speedacademy]

We actually did do it but you have to spin the engine over around 50 times before it is at TDC again. I always double check my timing marks that way, cant be too safe.

[@mikeydeshon5637]

Speed Academy sweet. To much work to shortcut. Especially timing components.

[@01FozzyS]

You know what they say.....once you go black......

[@FrgottenFrshness]

11:22 Oil pan not valve cover Lol

[@erikmiles5536]

Considering how much of that engine you've torn down. Not doing new rings, honing, and bearings seems haphazard. Unless you just want more content for the future rebuild?

[@speedacademy]

We just want to get it running. Rebuilding the motor will be a next year deal.

[@Skyomen]

My thumbtack is red 😂

[@t1995roger10]

Should've have painted it Hemi orange or Ford blue

[@carlbenz3341]

that would've been funny.

[@WelshyAutomotive]

No

[@ericxiong6582]

Doing so will cause engine failure within a week....

[@maxperez7875]

Hey guys that block looks kinda crusty with old oil.

[@speedacademy]

KINDA... haha!

[@WelcomeToTheMadness]

Greasy hands equals, throw the whole engine away!

[@MidShipCivic]

Speed academy where K20's and K24's make less power than B16's.

[@speedacademy]

Maybe less than B18's but B16's...

[@DresRacingChannel]

Im throwing a K series into a 1991 toyota MR2 if you guys want you can stop by and check it out subscribe if you like.

[@SeanPhelps-qh2eu]

Sr20det > k24.... change my mind.

[@nzos14]

DARE Sr isn't bad but been done a million times before, boring

[@gthomas1421]

K>Sr because when an Sr goes it may only be the valve train. When a K goes you know the whole thing is fucked. Less guess work, duh.

[@thriceguys]

Sr like to break... And then break some more. They are interesting engines but I don't know why they have the rep they do for being amazing. Anyone I know who has one has had to get a new one or rebuild multiple times over not much time.

[@ericxiong6582]

remind us how many SR swaps are in other cars besides Nissan 240's and Sentras. Go ahead...we'll wait.

[@originalweedy]

I was wondering what happened to this car.

[@adanaguirre3915]

why does his voice crack so much..

[@MrNickjberry]

Legal weed is taking its toll on your vieos...

[@csgperformance]

Much better without the dumb music intro

[@kxlou213]

This build is soooo slow...

[@2burning2turning]

Dude, way to much hondabond…

[@phoneuser3569]

All this work and $$$ for a stupid swap.

[@xozindustries7451]

Black motors suck because you can’t see oil leaks

[@speedacademy]

Wait, shouldnt that be a positive...

[@0vertime2476o]

who cares what color... really?
