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.
