A video with a build list for a 300, 400, 500 HP K-series would be good, just talking through the parts what to buy what to avoid and all that.

[@ancientsociety653]

I have never seen any 2 people more excited about building a k series that these guys, and I'm glad I found this video. I'm building my 1st k series, a k24a1, and I got an RBB-3 head for it. I took the valvetrain out and all the pins n springs fell out just like he said. I'm going to put a type s oil pump on it too. lucky for me I don't have to cut it.

Being able to lock the cams at tdc is such a plus. It’s such well built motor.

Excellent video look forward to seeing more.

[@GTRliffe]

cleaning valves.. Drill & bench grinder with wire wheel Put the valve into the drill and and spin up while hitting the wire wheel. You will see if a valve is bent and they’ll clean like new

[@resonantshadow]

Super helpful and informative, tryin to get my 05 k24a2 past 250 hp out here in Cali, this helps a lot for a home garage newbie like me.

[@ChrisLeeK24]

Jroc is a legend man, love this content

[@beezowdoodoozoppitybopbopb9488]

Jroc asked how the valves are cleaned. At my old cylinder head shop we used a tumbler that used pea sized shot with kerosene. The valves came out as nice as new every time, ready to have a new face and tip cut. We'd also throw the springs, retainers and keeper in with them. The keepers were put inside something we called an "egg" that was basically two PVC caps that screwed together, with small holes drilled all over it to allow the kerosene in.

[@Woppy323]

260 is really good for how light the car is.

[@agcrxturbo9577]

Dope video. Lots of great information. 👌🏽👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@RsxancheZ]

Great video, thanks for drop those gems. I’ll be trying to do something similar here soon

[@andrewjones198]

i like you guys. nice dry humor. Love the knowledge you are sharing. Ill sub for sure and use all the videos you put up to help me with my build next year. I want to try and find a good specimen of a 1995 civic hatchback with power windows and sunroof, A\C and power steering, then swap in an engine like the one you are doing in this video. What a fun car to drive it would be! Definately doing crazy subs! I am planning for my midlife crisis car lMAO

[@tammyforbes2101]

I just bought a nice Honda accord with a K24! Nice engine pulls the car plenty good enough and gets 25-30 mpg! I like it!

Loved the video, thank you guys for doing this. I have a K24a2 from a '07 TSX that I have on the stand for my '82 E21, this build is primarily for auto cross/ road racing. Bought the KPower rwd conversion kit and just need a clutch kit and drive line. For the engine though, I have done nothing to it yet and will follow along with what the video showed to do.

All swaps in even with e30 kit? I have a 78 e21 I want to do it to

[@stuartarneaud218]

Excellent job

[@scruba_dub]

Super sick! I do the valve adjustment on my S2K. The previous owner had the number 4 cylinder exhaust too tight and it burned up the intake side valves. Very costly. It's important to make sure it's correct. Good Stuff!

Valve adjustments are KEY!!

Much love from California 🎊 ❤🎉😂

If you mainly watch popular and famous channels and videos then it will recommend more of that to you and it makes KZbin more money by getting the videos more views and advertisements that companies pay to have KZbin out on their videos and it keep KZbin, a business on their feet and pay their employees

@@sonic_203 Bro, I had a quick question? I tried to find the tear down video of THIS engine. Because you say about not buying aftermarket valve keepers. To use oem Honda keepers instead. Long story short my K20a2 I bought dual springs and titanium retainers for . Dude that made the kit say you need Aftermarket keepers for kit. Can I use my stock keepers and be fine? My K 20a2 a later one w/o factory dual springs. Thanks Bro in advance. Peace

To plug the hole for the balance shaft oil pump for the Tsx block do you put Hondabond on the small bolt you insert in it?

[@Thedoug369]

My son recently bought a 91 MR2 that was K swapped, it's one of those Frankenstein builds I think with a K24 bottom and a K20 top end and of course a six speed. I don't know wtf is going on with the trans but it's the sloppiest manual trans I've ever driven in my life, and I've driven lots of em. I don't know if it's just the shifter or...? Anyway it's set up for the track, has Wilwood brakes bigass tires, it's twitchy af and also stupid fast without any boost ( yet ) Just discovered y'alls channel n you got a new sub ✌

[@manlb9254]

Reason why breaking the head bolts by hand and in sequence because it’ll prevent the head from warping

[@danielmiller5971]

You guys would def be the place id take a honda motor to get built
