Why the Honda K Series is the Best 4 Cylinder Engine

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video, we do a complete teardown and analysis of the Honda K-series engine to see what’s inside and how it works.
The Honda K-series of 4 cylinder engines debuted in 2001 and is found in many vehicles including the Honda CR-V, Accord, Element, Civic, Acura EL, CSX, TSX and TLX. It has been renowned for its durability and strength with the ability to take on very high mileages with little repair. In addition, many aftermarket tuners have sought after the Honda K-series engines to build them for racing and competition, swapping in easy to source and modify components netting large horsepower gains due to its durable design.
In this video we take apart the K24 engine from a 2003 Honda Accord to examine all components, from the oil pan, balance shafts, engine block and pistons to the head, rocker arm and VTEC systems. We examine how the components are built and discuss why this is perhaps one of Honda’s best 4 cylinder engines for both modifying, racing or production use until today.

    VW engineers responsible for, among others, the TSI engine, need to be sent over to Japan to learn how true engines are designed and built. TSI engines are failing at just over 100k km due to relatively minor cam chain/tensioner issues which should've been addressed during the design stage. Planned obsolescence immediately comes to mind.

    In my experience, rust is the killer not mechanical failure. It doesn't matter how good the engine is if you're never going to get the bodywork around it through scrutiny. All I can say is, rust protection far outweighs any mechanical advantage in salty climates. People in dry places rave about Japanese cars, but in the cold climates they really didn't hold up until relatively recently. Mechanically they're usually excellent, but they would just end up with holes in the floor. The Japanese take better care of their roads and don't salt them up as much as everywhere else, so a lot of their cars (esp JDM versions) weren't galvanised for the longest time. That's why in the UK, a huge proportion of the 70s Japanese cars you see are LHD, because they've been imported from dry places like California. Almost all of the RHD ones originally sold here or Japan are long gone. Most manufacturers globally got on top of it during the 90s and 00s. Some models started to hold up very well, and eventually they figured it out and all of them got decent protection after a while. Up until then they rotted away like 1960s European cars. Like Cortinas or Minis.

The seal is usually brittle and falls apart even when removing. The additive pack for synthetic is higher in detergent and the same crud that clogs up the screen seems to reinforce the crusty seal until you use synthetic which can clean the crud and cause a leak. Seen this happen on valve cover gaskets many times with people who have poor maintenance habits. Nowadays they’re all spec’d 0w20 which I’ve only seen in synthetic. Of course if you decide to use what Honda specifies. I don’t for mine and still no blown engine or any other problems.

    To be fair I had my VTEC solenoid fail before the screen clogged up. At least it's on the outside of the engine and in my old accord is super easy get to. I just traded my accord this week for a 3rd gen fit and I already miss it. That engine was still running perfect despite the rest of the car falling apart from rust around it.

    VTEC solenoid issues can also be caused by the electrical connector wearing out and making a bad connection. It's usually worth cleaning and reseating the connector before replacing the whole thing. You can also try just changing the oil. The only time I've ever had a VTEC solenoid issue it went away after an oil change.

    I loved the K20Z3 motor, supremely engineered and bulletproof. It liked to burn oil though, and one tim while revving it to 8600 RPM the oil light went on. Checked my dipstick, was shocked to find there was no oil on the dip. Filled the oil back up and it had zero signs of damage or wear in the next oil change.

    I had a 2003 Accord with a K24A3. Great engine. Had about 390000 km on the clock when i eventually sold it. There was nothing wrong with it, I just got bored with front wheel drive. That engine has the "performance" VTEC on both intake and exhaust cams. It really likes to rev (VTEC point at 6000 rpm, 190 hp at 6800 rpm and rev limiter at 7300 rpm :D), but also has some useful low end torque compared to the K20A6 that's more commonly found in Accords here. It also got the same if not better fuel mileage.

    I have the valves adjusted on my 2006 Honda Element with the K24A engine @ 105K mile intervals by my Honda garage master mechanic. He said the problem with the Honda valves needing adjustment is not because the valves get loose, it is because they get tight. Whatever the reason, the inside of my cylinder head still looks new with premium synthetic oil changes @ 5K mile intervals. My car has never burned oi or had any leaks. All I do is scheduled services. Wonderful engine! The only thing that "broke" on it was the starter which wore out. Unfortunately, it is underneath the intake manifold.

I also bought a lot of new tools to work on everything from suspension to engine parts. I still have a couple of DIY projects to do but if the car last me at least another 3-5 years with minimal maintenance I would be very happy while I continue to save for a new car.
