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

Honestly impressed that you managed to build it in 8 minutes

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 .

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!

This is the perfect video. Straight to the point, detailed, educational, and high quality. I don't even have a Honda anymore or any car I would do an engine for but I still loved this.

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 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.

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.

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

That was a very satisfying pace of information, thank you for appealing to my short attention span

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

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.

Rapid fire torque wrench clicks are very satisfying lol

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 !

Content this well produced and only 1700 subs. Untapped talent. Nice work 👌

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!

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

Great presentation, explanation, camera setup and editing. And ofcourse great assembling, 10/10 video!

I'm going to save this video. Straight to the point with enough details to follow. Thank you for sharing. Seriously thank you

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

Great video, love the style and honesty. I’ve been thinking about a mr2 spyder project, this is inspiring. Keep up the good work.

8:07 - always worth the extra steps. Great, informative video!. It's so good seeing these done so many years later.

This was super informative and shows how much goes into building a motor, especially when it's a swap

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

Projects like this are extensive and costly. As a home Diy guy, I consider to remove and replace engine with warranty for the budget and time friendly option. Although, It's good to experience the fruits and joy of labor. Expensive fruit, lol. Thanks for sharing.

Tumbs up! Pretty nice and honest job. Straight to the point. Speed has its cost...

Great job on the video... I knew my videos needed help, you gave me something to look to for making better videos. Thank you.

really a detailed and compact video ,helps a lot thank you!

Greatest quick video ever!

8:07 - always worth the extra steps. Great, informative video!

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.

Need a sprinkling of Clarksonism in the title. *THE MOST EXPENSIVE HONDA K ENGINE... IN THE WORLDDDD, no seriously* 😐 The voiceover was really well written and nicely documented. 👍🏽

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

This video should have at least 1,000,000 views, also the channel should have 100,000 subscribers just because of this, I didn't find a video that explained things better in a shorter time i wish you the best cheers !!!

Thank you for this guide im about to do a k swap on my EK and this is a nice idea of how much im gonna be spending

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.

This video made me feel bad that I'm a certified master honda tech and I still ugged and dugged most my motor... Great job on the build my man

Beautiful work brother

That's brutal. All of a sudden a 4 pistons motor or a crate K20C doesn't look all that bad.

Good honest video.

This is an unbelievably good and concise video on how to build a Honda engine. The title doesn't do it justice IMO.

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.

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.

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

love the build!!!!

Good build, good edit, good humor

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

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

Amazing video dude!

thanks for accommodating my short attention span :D

Great video !!

Very satisfying video.

Good work💪

Well planned build. Very expensive but you should be rewarded for the investment.

wow. Nice work

For making a compact video for my tiny mind i give you like

Thank you! Excellent video!!!

Bravo 👏…… Well done ! As someone who has built many of engines from the ground up, I can’t recall a time I didn’t go over budget. I mean, it’s already apart …. Might as well 😂

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.

Wow 👍 looks like you did an amazing job bro

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

fire vid, deserves more views !!

The commentary was hilarious. Good video lol

That thing must be so fun to drive!

Simple but great video, earned a Sub

great video I love how the internet decided it was "cheap" to do a kswap my turbo build into my civic is at 15k and its not tuned or anthing and the engine is just vct and oil pump otherwise stock

this is so dope!

This was a great video

"Torque it down" is now stuck in my head like a song.

🙈👍👌 furz trockenes Video, geil. Die Kosten sind galaktisch.

Welp it looks like I need to do a K24 swap lol.. this was the most detailed vid I’ve came across

Your a legend!

As long it makes you happy and is your passion, I don't see anything wrong with the cost. Just be sure to plan your retirement well. PS - I was like you in the late 90's with my 1991 Eagle Talon Tsi awd. Fully rebuilt, low compression motor and all the water works. Pretty sure I spent well over 15K on it. It's somewhere in the junkyard. Good memories though.

Amazing Commentry - ACE youtuber 👏👏👏

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

Straight to the fucking point! No bs. My attention span is like dory from finding nemo. I really appreciated this video you made. Love the jokes also 😂

Thank you 🔥🔥🔥

OMG, you put it in an MR-S!?? AWESOME! just sub'd

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.

You are amazing.

Nice one

Great job bro once you love it who cares 👍👍

brilliant!

Dang... That engine looks like it came right out of a Honda factory in Japan.

Thnx!

Oddly enjoyable

Very cool and informative video, loved watching it a bit too much that i ended up subscribing, i have a K24 myself and am struggling finding all these parts. Where did you get them all?

New drinking game. Take a shot every time he says Honda Bond.

The end was so funny! If I blow this engine,this will be the last time you hear from me! 😂

And if this 3ngine blows up you'll never hear from me again 😆 🤣 😂...yeah man 11k.

Nice build bro keep it up

lovely work man lol hope your ride lasts forever

enjoy the build video.! if it blows up, get a 4piston or rameyracing motor for the same price sleeved (:

Sounds like a drinking game, where you drink every time he says spec/specification😂

Money......what about time learning. Dam nice job

I'm offended you called out my short attention span.

not even building a k24 but I learned something

Did you tune it yourself ? And if not, how much did it cost and how much power do you put down ? Also, very cool build !

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 😊
