Two of many reasons why I love Honda’s so much: 1 I’m a full time mechanic for over 20 years and work on everything from golf carts to fire engines and 2: I purchased my 2002 Acura RSX Type S brand new and still driving it daily now with 455, 000 miles, original water pump, oil pump, good compression and no engine lights, synthetic oil changes every 3k and only two valve adjustments needed, yet it still runs like a champ and no I’ve never ever babied it when driving it but strict with maintaining it, Honda is the power of dreams with no doubt

The K series is the LS engine of the 4 cylinder world

Edit: this show is amazing! I think I just got a college degree in Honda K- series engines. Their engineering is mind blowing. Thank you so much!

Edit2: pull apart a Subaru boxer engine next!

Honda has always been about engineering details in their engines. I don't get why they receive so much hate. They are great. Ever since the S600s with the roller bearing cranks.

You forgot to mention that the massive oil pump assembly houses the counter-rotating balancing shafts that reduce the second-order vibrations of in-line 4-bangers. Truly an ingenious design to keep the engine block simple and robust. Simply a beautiful bulletproof engine!

I just purchased my first Civic SI and it has a K series engine. I had no idea these were engineered like that. It blew my mind.

I remember you initially being the shy Haltech/tuner guy from MCM years ago 😁. The company has come so far and is killing it. I would say you guys even pioneered mainstream stand alone ECU culture but the just my 2 cents. Haltech is seriously up there with the 800lb gorillas like Motech, AEM, Holly, etc.) Thanks for staying humble.

[baoinc]

This guy is really knowledgeable, he even knows the history of the Honda engine and presentation is flawless .. I'd say this is one the best and most interesting video on Honda's engine. Thanks so much for this video, thumbs up!

[Headerflame]

Damn, there really is a ton of genius wrapped into those. Makes me want to play with one.

[TougeWarrior]

The dislike are from people who lost a race to a Honda...badly😂

[feenyx]

I didn't even know this "What's so special about" series was a thing, but I absolutely love it.
Thanks for both the history lesson and the detailed teardown!

[olivernguyen]

His face :0 when he was looking at the crankshaft like his most loved child! love it

[DasECuz]

All I could think about was Jesus those intake ports are massive.

[troywiler]

You don't know how many YouTube videos I went through before I found this one. Awesome video fully explains my awesome iVtec engine. Thank you so very much! Brilliant!

[thesillyhatday]

Finally solid information on these engines without hating or some Honda crap meme jokes. I don't understand all the hate from the sheep. Thanks

[hondajesus]

I've always been diehard a B series guy but the K is a pretty robust piece of engineering. Still prefer the B due to simplicity but the K literally stands for King

[darylnicklen]

Thanks Scot brilliant explanation of a K series Honda engine. See so many of them on You tube video great to see a full pull down. Haltech Let Scotty done a K Series build

[boatlover]

Makes me feel even better about my Accord Touring 2.0. Read last week from JD Powers that Honda engines in general have less than half the failure rate than their next closest rival. Pretty sick.
