Vtec in the K series is completely different from vtec in the B and H series, it's doesn't have the kicking in effect that the older engines do. If its pulling hard then it's working
As far as cleaning the crankcase, I've used Marvel Mystery Oil before and it really helped on a high mileage B series

The most you could do without pulling that K24A2 apart is go to an oil change place, have em poor chemicals to break it down, run it, drain it, and put new oil.

Im going too pull it apart and do a valve adjustment as well as new plugs. What else could I do in there? Ive got a great tool set and have done alot of aut9motive work, just never owned a honda so nuances are lost on me here.

Fucking get you some forged pistons, rods, bearings and mains, block studs, head studs and bolts, an equal length split manifold and a hair dryer

Just make sure the timing chain and tensioner are good, the K series always make a metallic clanging noise as if the chain is sloppy when they're cold, but it should shut up when it's warm.

>>17680520
So that noise isnt a problem?

No, it's fine.

The k24 burns oil. Like most Hondas. Vtec is oil pressure driven. If you are low on oil, vtec won't kick in.

At 245k miles it won't matter if you switch between Dino and synth. Just stay consistent moving forward and add a quart every 1000 miles or so.


Check your axle seals. They are probably leaking.


Don't touch the valves. Self adjusting. The motor clangs because of the timing chain.
