Why the Honda K20 is the Best Engine Ever

"Here's a look inside the Honda K20 engine and how it works!

The Honda K-series has long been regarded as the best balance for both performance and reliability. It's used in pedestrian cars such as the Honda CR-V and Accord, while performance variants are used in the Civic Si and Acura RSX. What makes it outstanding is its fun-revving nature, sturdiness and its ability to be modified by the aftermarket community.

The K20-A3 torn down this video is from a 2004 Acura RSX with less than 200,000km. This version has i-VTEC (economy) and VTC on the intake side only. Other variants of the K series can be built using K20 and K24 parts, which are interchangeable, yielding builds that are capable of 400HP! The K20 uses a square bore to stroke ratio and forgoes the balance shafts inside the oil pump assembly that the K24 has. "
