I own a 2008 honda accord coupe, 4 cylinder and frankly I love it and plan on owning it for the rest of my life. This content is literally gold to me. Thank you so much Milan for providing this kind of in depth material! Not just for Honda either but all of your other builds. You rock, thank you sir!!
Thanks Trevor! I appreciate that more than you know ☺️ Be sure to come back and see what kind of progress we make in the coming year! I'm hoping to get this engine ready to be swapped for spring time 🤞
I'm a novice at this, but this video made it look so simple and gave me confidence to do something I have never done but wanted to do. I have a k24z3 and my goal is to swap it in a 88cr. Thx for some great videos!
I clicked on this video because I thought it looked interesting, and I was intrigued that the K24 had an open deck. But this video is superb, straight to the point, clear, outlined brilliantly. It's excellent. I hope Honda forums have this sticked at the top of their appropriate forums.
Please upload more vids about the k24 swap... your videos are one of the best ones out there. I got encouraged to do the swap on my 09 tsx after watching your video. Oh and I subbed your channel too.
Hi Milan, I've taken apart many Chevrolet small block V8 engines from 265 cu in in the 1955 Chevrolet to 283 and 327's. Every one, even those well taken care of always had sludge everywhere. In spite of the tiny bit of sludge you found I was amazed to see how clean that engine was inside. A tribute to modern day detergent oils. Good luck with this project. Tom U.S.A.
Hey Tom. If you think this engine here is clean, boy do I have good new for you!! When I did the timing chain on my Honda, the engine was SOOOO much cleaner with literally ZERO sludge. I can only imagine how bad the old chevy small blocks were!
so i searched on google on bing and multiple different forums. your the only one to tell me the difference between a 2008 tsx and a 2009 tsx. and for that im gonna subb to u. when it came to this question i had it took nearly 30 mins of searching to find out the damn name of the engine of a 2009 tsx. k24z3 for 2009- whatever i dont care k24a2 2004-2008 and u even showed the block and how it attaches differently then the k24a2. thanks alot i cant believe its so difficult to find this simple info on any search engine.
Nice video! I think those plastic pieces are from the oil cap, looks like the threaded part. No idea how those pieces would get through the oil drain back holes in the head though. Also, that engine really doesn't look bad inside at all in my opinion. No it wasn't spotless, but I have seen way more engines that look way worse than that than engines that look that good or better.
Loved the way you explained everything and how you do your work that's a really good way to bag and tag them helps you remember where everything goes thanks for the content
Thank you for this video! I got a free Honda from family and it has really bad blow by! This video has helped me a long the way with my rebuild. I am not a mechanic just a guy trying to save some money 😅
I read just a few comments and I agree with everybody your videos are awesome 👍 keep up the good work bud. I'm going to be doing a k24 swap on my cb7 Accord and your videos are very helpful and thorough! 👌
He’s right you don’t need high end tools to do this. I literally lifted the engine out of the car by throwing a rope over the rafters of a barn and pulled then took it apart in the floor like he did.
I use channel locks with an old inner tube over the teeth to remove cam caps all the time. Dead blow hammers can be problem too because of the potential for bearing damage if you use too much force.
Your video on breakdown is awesome Milan! It helped narrow down my huge oil leak on 05 TSX. Don’t know if leak is from crankshaft seal or timing chain cover 😢 but vid helped see what it could be. I’m a simple wrencher for brakes and simple stuff. Only wish you my engine was out to make it look as easy in vid 😂. Greeting from Cali San Diego
I find it kinda hilarious how similar these are to the N14B16 and N18B16. Would be kinda neat seeing a similar video series on their takedown and differences!
I've seen little magnetic dishes, military lunch trays, cardboard with holes, solo cups, and everything else..."bag and tag" beats them all and I'll be using that in the future for any disassembly.
Like your videos bro.lucky to stumble upon your channel since i drove 2006 honda crv with k20a on it. hope to do more on mine later. with your tutorial guide.
Looks like someone liked to get their oil changes at Jiffy Lube, the plastic pieces in the oil pan are most likely timing chain tension pieces or the oil pump chain.
I'm a heavy equipment tech and I never understood what the big deal is with a Honda crank pulley bolt . On dozers, front loaders and cranes 75 percent of the machines bolts are as hard or harder than a Honda crank bolt, way harder . I use a snap on or ir titanium impact and it does the trick for me . I've ran into some really stubborn bolts on big Cummins and Cat engines and if the impacts won't get it I use a chain wrench to anchor the pulley and a long 1/2 or in some cases 3/4 inch ratchet for the bolt . Depending on what it is I'll use a 3/4 inch impact which I know nobody is going to use on a Honda .
You didn't explain how to properly loosen cylinder head bolts. Depending how their torque down it's either inside out when loosening or vise versa. Failing to realise this can cause your head to warp. Also I believe that oil pump is attached to the counter shafts which is why it's so big it helps with vibrations.
The oil pump on these engines has balance shafts which helps reduce the secondary forced from the crankshaft. I will be changing my pump out with a better one when it comes to the reassembly :)
thanks again for some great detailed videos! They really are great and very helpful to me. I have the K24z3 engine and am also looking to increase the horsepower as well. Did you finish this series and I just can't find the final video? Or did you run into some problems with the build? Would love to see the final build and hear what HP you got out of it. - Thanks!
Aaaand the moment we're so looking forward too. What to do to make that Cam solenoid operate the vtec exhaust camshaft from a k24Z body to a k24A manifold. Made me subscribe.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THOSE PLASTIC PIECES ARE FROM!!! It a broken oil cap lol working at a Honda dealership I see broken caps all the time! That looks exactly like the threads on them!
@@milanmastracci I had matts down to protect the carpet but as you know engine oil doesn't really comply with staying put. suffice to say the carpet was ruined and i was in a little bit of trouble with the wife.
Hey dawg! Doing good work for us broke UA-cam mechanics. 😂 This will do nicely for when my California CSX Type S Gives up the ghost and I wanna do a 300HP N/A 200 hp 9000 redline with my hondata is way more fun that my boosted FK8 Type R. Just imagine 300hp N/A. 😂
As someone who struggles to keep his videos short, I’m amazed that you just did a whole engine tear down in a 15 min video.
LOL thank you!
谢谢！
This is the MOST comprehensive video on a k series teardown I have found

... so.. you're planning to die young then ?
I just disassembled mine last night , first time ever I’m here to gain some knowledge. Thank you for everything from Australia
how did you go?

Glad i'm not the only one who bags all the bolts, nuts, plugs, small parts and then signs the bags with specifics!
Such a good practice.

Thanks Anthony! I appreciate it :)
I’ll bet $100 those plastic pieces are from an oil fill cap that broke off and fell in. Billet caps are awesome.
That's something I'll need to get!
no its not from oil cap
Probably an old Time-cert that broke off into the oil pan when someone stripped the oil drain plug.
Exactly. It's from an oil cap that broke, seen that happen and they really look like oil cap threads
Billet caps breh yasssss bling bling 😂😂😂😂

But this k24z3 block is out of an acura tsx right? It's not the same as the r40 in the accord correct?

k24z3 for 2009- whatever i dont care
k24a2 2004-2008
and u even showed the block and how it attaches differently then the k24a2.
thanks alot i cant believe its so difficult to find this simple info on any search engine.

Yep, honda oil caps get super brittle in the cold
I appreciate your thorough explanations throughout the teardown
Thanks Eric! I'm happy to hear that
Excellent tutorial. The man knows his stuff. And very strong too. I saw you lift that block! Lol.
Good job brother.
What a professional video! You had my attention the whole time. You are 5 Star Restaurant good, just WOW.
I don't even own a k-series car but found this fascinating and interesting. You should turn this into a series and teardown all the iconic motors
By far the best teacher on UA-cam no cap
When removing head studs you should remove them in reverse order of installing. It's alloy head and it can twist if you don't do it in order
expert20valvehlx like in the alpha twin spark😉
@@adamy4162 haha no, ts head have more holes for more sparks and they are not pron to twist as a normaln bead but again i do it like that just in case
Im starting a reverse Frankenstein and this is the teardown vid that Im gonna use, Thank You!!!!
Legend !! As a DIYer these videos really help I can appreciate the detail and effort into making these videos.
Great video man well spoken clear and factual! No waffle or bs just a perfect video

Any updates?... I'd love to follow your build
@@ALLCOMPTON just picked up rear disc brakes from junk yard and cleaned them up,painted them.👍
I might try to do a UA-cam channel, ill lyk👌
@@chriscurry780 sounds good. Looking forward to it.
He’s right you don’t need high end tools to do this. I literally lifted the engine out of the car by throwing a rope over the rafters of a barn and pulled then took it apart in the floor like he did.
Great video, very detailed process.
Thanks for letting me know I'm supposed to mark the crank before pulling the pistons
Straight to the point. Learned soo much in this video. Thanks.
Thanks Karl! Happy to hear that 👊
I’m am currently working on a da9 integra project that will have a k swap this video will help me a lot 💯💪
Man this is awesome you are confidence inspiring I will watch all of this build series today
What incredible engineering
Amazing! You did very good job amigo! Keep it up.like to see everything put it back together.
I was cringing how u were using channel locks to pull those cam caps !!!!
What tool would you recommend?
@@milanmastracci tap them with a rubber hammer or a dead blow .or lift up on the cam works too
I use channel locks with an old inner tube over the teeth to remove cam caps all the time. Dead blow hammers can be problem too because of the potential for bearing damage if you use too much force.
@@milanmastracci i use the bolts
Mitchell Savage I use Vise grips!😜

YOOOO HOLY HELL, CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS. IT"S FINALLY GOIN DOWN
Ahah I'm happy to hear that Ahmad! The accord is finally going to make decent power lol
Awesome video well documented, short and to the point
great video and quality thanks man!
Awesome video dude!!
Simple, clear, no fluff.
Keep up the great work!!
I love you. Honda Gang
They make a weighted socket for taking the crank bolt out. Has worked for me every time.
Very informative and clean
Bag it and tag it. Lol
Good content. Simple and to the point.
Rubber bands work well for holding together the VTec rockers also
Wow very impressive video! Thank you very much. I can’t wait to see your final build.
Best teardown video
Thank you my friend!
Like your videos bro.lucky to stumble upon your channel since i drove 2006 honda crv with k20a on it. hope to do more on mine later. with your tutorial guide.
Great video, very informative.
19mm weighted socket.. came off easy with my dewalt
Thanks for the list for everything
Awesome detailed explanation bro
quick and well done!,
looks like an oil cap broke and fell in the engine
Indeed!!!
Very detailed guide. Keep up the awesome job.
Thank you Patrick! I appreciate it 🙌
wow, great video. Respect from someone struggle with ikea assembly, LOL
Use skin spoons instead of pry bars, we use them on aluminum skins/parts in aviation 😊✌️
cant wait to see how this build turns out!
Great job 🤘🏻
Hey milan whats up with the rest of the k24z3 build with the dual vtech head were waiting for more content bro.
Good one. Well explained
Thank you 🙂
Nice to see videos are back!
Thanks Thomas! ☺️
You need a weighted socket for that harmonic balancer I think the proper term is a "inertia socket"... It'll bust it right loose.
Great video. Looking forward to the build.
Thank you! ❤️
@@milanmastracci Are you planning on doing an in depth video of you pulling your stock motor? Your videos are very detailed and informative. 👍🏼
Great work Milan 👍👍
Thank you thank you 🙌🙌

what a great video. ggs bro
Your videos is owsem!!! keep going!!
Thank you!!
Can wait to see my motor (k24z3) with that power. If it does i will do the same
It'll be fun!
It's amazing that they can build these engines correctly in the first place. Seems much easier to just buy an electric motor.

Great video
Those plastic pieces are from the chain guides.
Chain guides seem fine. A lot of people have commented it could be an old oil cap that was over torqued.
