I swapped an 04 K24a2 in my 04 EP3 in 06, put 200K on the car with that engine in it. I liked to run 5-30 but as the miles built (that car saw 7800rpm daily) It went up to bat mobile smokescreen status and I was running 10-30 plus additives. Finally took car off road and sold the only car I ever bought new

K24a2 has a crank that is more sought after than all others (not sure why), all are forged
K24a2 has thicker rods, "a2 valvetrain" higher compression all in the piston, piston oil squirters, slightly higher capacity oil pump with balance shafts. Blocks same as Accord, combustion chamber same.

The Accord/Element/CRV/RSXbase/Ep3 all have the same cam lift/duration and are swappable as OEM as far as specs go.




K20a2 head is superior but all can be made to work.
06-08 K24a2 Cams are the most sought after cam for the A2 head, put it on your Accord block with TSX pistons and RSX oil pump and you have your modern day K frank or what ever its called. Fairly cheap speed



K20a3 is only good for jokes..... and scrap collectors like me
