"If this engine ever blows up, you'll never hear from me again" This is exactly how i feel about projects like this

Someone pointed out that I forgot to add connecting rods, $450.93. This brings the new total to $12,012.83. Yikes. Edit: Pretty wild this hit 100k views, I did not expect that all. Thank you everyone, hopefully this trend continues.

K24 build speedrun challenge.

You did this all yourself and was rather expensive . , this is an honest look of cost to pass on , no bs like some other k24 builds . If you get 7 years out of the engine , break it down and get another 7 .

I'm a Honda O.G and LOVE Hondas/ engines etc. BUT the GRAND total is INSANE! It was built nicely and meticulous. But there weren't any real over the top parts involved for that Grand Total to be so HIGH. SHEESH

Wow very kind words

This engine build was beautiful and extremely honest, also a great learning point for anyone, and the video edit and total was a lot of work too, great job and amazing video editing!

I think the lesson here is that if you want "budget", don't crack open the engine (except the basic phaser and oil pump/pan modifications) if you can help it.

Wow I have always wanted to do a fresh build like this but you're making me rethink all that. I spun a rod in my KA24E and and toasted the crank. Sent the block in to get cleaned, decked, bored and honed. Got new oe style oversize pistons, bearings and crank. Rebuilt it with the old parts that were still usable. Total was about $1600 including the machine work.

“If this engine blows up you’ll never hear from me again “😂😂😂

Man congrats on the build! The price is insane tho when you can get a crate engine for around the same price with only 5% of the time investment. However, the experience you gained is invaluable

Bud, this might be the first build video I've seen include checking all the tolerances. Thanks for including that.

It's so good seeing these done so many years later🙏

There's something beautiful about watching an engine being assembled. Especially a K series, one of my favorite engines of all time. CL9 TSX is what I have.

Little tip when using plastigauge on the bearings, good practice is to use the old bolts, on some engines the bolts are torqued to yield, meaning they stretch when fully torqued to spec. You'll have to buy new ones when you want to assemble the engine if you use the new ones!

I hope you and that K will have great and long life ahead

Thank you for this informative and funny video. It really helps put into perspective all the work, money and time that goes into an engine/car build. I used to have a c3 Corvette which took so much money and time, I still don't know if it was worth it.

I bought a new Accord, 2004. We put 384,000 mi on it. Never once did it let us down. I’m an oil changer type. Castrol 20w50 it’s whole life. It got severely abused toward the end, driven months with no one even raising the hood. They ran it completely out of oil 5 times. Since it was still in my name, and they didn’t want it any more, I went and got it. Still have it. Sad ending to the best car ever! Thanks for the video !

first time i've seen a k series build video where its not some BS or random talking, this guy got straight to the point even with how much it costed too

I love that you really said torqued to spec on every bolt.

Beautiful work brother

Dude Thanks 😊 for taking the time ⏲️ to explain and show the process.

Good honest video.

Very talented i like this video a lot likes how you torqued everything

love the build!!!!

This is a great video man, awesome! I don't think this is too much or too little, necessarily.

And this is WHY in UK we are starting to SEE these GREAT Engines anr being Put into a LOT of Rally Cars including Ford Escort MK2 s. Great Video Bud. Check out HUMBLE performance.

What ive learned from this is i highly doubt i will ever build a kseries motor it was properly built but honestly for that money i could build an Ls engine with triple digit hp and have it be reliable.

I don't even have a k24 engine(b20b), but the fact you showed detailed step by step was really cool . As someone who is soon going to have to replace my piston rings, I wish you had a video of start to finish of that. I know it would be just as amazing as this one. I commend you for all the time and effort it took for you to do all this, as well as the making of this video. Well done Sir... well done.

Just bought a 2013 civic Si with ct engineering supercharger, crazy car but it bought me here eared a sub and like Thanks

You are amazing.

this video is awesome

I built a monster 383 SBC for my camaro recently. 568 hp 531 lbft tq NET hp (measured with all accessories including hydroboost) perfectly streetable on 91 octane. My grand total was 11k CANADIAN with brand new heads, full new forged rotating assembly, the full suite of machine work on a 4 bolt main block and an excellent carb. The engine will take about 950 hp and roughly 8k rpm extremely safely. All that's required for boost is swapping the heads for larger volume combustion chambers. The carb is blowthrough ready and an electric fuel delivery system was included in my 11k total. I can achieve roughly 23mpg on the highway if I tune the carb for a road trip. I like the k series engines, but that price tag is not it man. There is no way that k24 is sitting at even half the hp of my 383. I love honda, but that price to performance ratio is not it.

Am at step numero uno. Pulled the motor off of 04 TSX for 350. Completely gutted it down and cleaned. Almost scary to think the total cost to rebuild these motors 😊

Holy crap!

Honestly, I just seen a good used C6 Vette for $8K. I think I'll go that route. Thanks.

My first project car taught me to triple the estimated cost and double the amount of time 😅 I have a k24 in my 08 tsx and considering a rebuild as it’s 225k miles now, and I can swap it into any other project later since the tsx is not my daily now and it’s so damn heavy for these engines… at least stock anyway.

Is your TSX burning oil?

It's funny how you can tell an amateur from a pro when you torque everything. Pros don't waste time torquing oil pans water pumps or any of the small stuff. The only thing critical is the cylinder head.
