k24 questions
ok,
Ijust picked up a k24a4 with the intent of putting a k20a head on it and supercharger. I'm new to the k series scene however I've done a small amount of research and came up with the k20a head won't fit on a k24 block without clearance issues.
My question is, if my intentions are putting in a good piston/rod combo (je/eagle or cp/eagle rods) will I run into the clearance issues, I've read the tsx won't have the issue where as the accord will... But if I'm taking the factory rods and pistons out, that "should" fix the problem. I just wanna make sure I'm right before I fuck something up.
Thanks in advance for all help.

Re: k24 questions
The issue is due the the k24a4 piston's valve reliefs. They will not accommodated the larger k20a/a2/z3/k24a2 valves. If you change out the pistons than you are in the clear.

Re: k24 questions
Yeah, it will be a good build. I still gotta get a tranny and a few other things before I put it in my civic. K20a.org is a pretty good site, also found hondoogle.com is pretty sweet

Re: k24 questions
Nobody is claiming to be a "master engine" builder just buy reading topics in car forums. But much like vadriven, k20a.org is a tool to gain knowledge,share ideas as to what works, and what dnt. U take the knowledge u gain and put it in your little tool bag of "smart skills" knowledge is power my friend.
If not to get smarter or to pass on your knowledge to others then why are you on vadriven? To talk shit like the rest of the high school fucks do?
