For all of you wondering - This is a stand alone video that we decided to put together showing the process of swapping cams into a K-Series. It's not another cam swap or a part of the other series. We didn't find too many DIY K cam swap videos to reference so here's our take.
Speed Academy thank u soo much for the video really helped me a lot and the videos... Keep them up
Bruh. Thank you for this 🔥🔥
Yes. I do most of my youtubing with good headphones.

Speed Academy HOW MUCH HORSEPOWER ARE YOU ADDING ?
Another little speed tip. Use a paint marker to match a pin on the chain to the dot on the gear. Obviously
brooo.. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🫡🫡🫡🫡
Fantastic that u show timing marks and show where 2 put cams most detailed video I've seen respect I'm nvq level 2 and u Help me a lot 😎
Best how-to for DOHC swapouts on the entire internet! YOU WIN! 🥇 🏆
Only tip I would add is to pullout the spark plugs makes the engine easier to turn over so you don't have to fight compression. You can turn a K24 over with 1/4 inch drive ratchet with the plugs out.
Obviously
@@juanolivares5396 I agree it's pretty intuitive but it's one of those things people might miss or fail to think about thereby making their lives harder.
@@johnh8546 Once you remove the spark plugs, you can use the power steering pump bolt to turn over instead of the crankshaft

Y’all really taught me valve adjustments thank you
Obviously.
This potentially has saved me a headache. My new head bolts have stretched and now I’m having to tear it down again to re torque them. This is a huge help. Obviously I have to do a little bit more work but this is awesome. Risky stuff but just might make it easier. Thank you!!! 🙏
Literally have been looking everywhere for the torque spec on the cam caps. Sheared off a valve cover stud only to find out it’s part of the valve train, this video cleared a lot up for me!
This is the best video by far on you tube to replace camshaft on a Honda K24 with the engine on the car. Thank you guys
I feel so much more competent great tutorial by the dead weight guy he has a calm approach he is a good teacher explains in detail all the way in a calm manner very professional GO TEAM DEAD weight!
All your guys are a blessing to have in the vid🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼thanks guys for talking your time for making the video on how swap cams out and for giving some grate tips 👌🏼👌🏼👊🏼🙌🏼
Always good to get a speed academy video in the morning to start off the day.
Cool video and I learned a lot...Ever since I got my 05 Acura RSX I’ve been wanting to learn everything...I have a 90 cutlass international and I know that car very well...but now I wanna get back into imports and learn my car inside and out to make my car run at its best
Awesome video. Just did the cams on my RSX and this helped a lot. Only thing I could say is that when you are cleaning the timing tensioner cover be careful with the blade because I accidentally dropped in down the timing cover into the oil pan lol. Got it out and it's running perfectly now. Also as far as the bungee cord goes I'd say 90% of the time the chain will skip on the bottom and there's no point in really trying to be careful from it skipping. Just make sure before you remove the tensioner and you set the motor to TDC you look at the crank mark and cam gear marks so if the chain does skip you can just install the cams with the gear marks lined up and all the slack on the tensioner side
Reminds me of the b series days ..going to be dropping some cams into a k20 , I’ve not removed the valve cover since I’ve bought it. Thank you for the video!
Step by step! Love it! Thank you for this!
Thank you guys! This was very helpful! Keep it up!!
Great video. Just did a lash adjustment last night for the first time and that tool is nice. I ended up using a 10mm crows foot and a flathead.
not sure if I’m misunderstanding but I believe he did mention that the lobe should face upward didn’t he?
@chadwickwicky67 I did miss it. You are correct, he did at 11:05. I'll edit my comment.
I just want to make sure I didn’t miss anything , I’m about to do this 👍
By the way , I’ve seen others break loose or remove the cam gears when it’s in the engine which looks a heck of a lot easier, is there any major reason to remove them this way instead? Out of the vehicle?
@chadwickwicky67 To break the cam bolt loose, you just have to secure the camshaft so you're not replying on the timing chain to hold the breaking force. You can do it while the cam is still bolted down so it's more stable.
all the things you do just to get more jam :) love it
Smart move keeping the chain under tension for the crankshaft sprocket.
Hope my rsx pulls like this when I go k24a2. I’m building mine on my channel too thanks for this info man!🤙🏾🤙🏾🔥🔥
Great step by step!
Really good explanation. Thanks
Cool valve ajustment tool
thanks dudes, great tutorial
wow this video taught me how to do alot thanks i cant imagine it could be this easy tho
Great video.
Good job guys
I was curious about this and this should give me enough to go on. Thx guys! Also im not sure if it applies here but isnt there supposed to be hondabond on one of the outer cam caps? I cant remember..
Really nice.
There's a TSB out for VTC rattle on cold start that uses a very similar process but you're only removing the intake cam. It's a bit of a pain in the ass at first but once you do a couple its smooth as butter.
I know it's a long shot but I thought I'd ask, mine has that exact starting rattle/tapping since the my k24 accord engine was rebuilt from bottom to top - except it was quieter and always made noise from engine on to off. And the mechanic told us it should go away with time. One week later and the noise got awful loud and we said heck with that and stopped driving.
What is more likely to be happening; the vtc actuator failed completely, or somehow not getting enough oil pressure to engage? I really don't wanna keep getting bad projection from mechanics.
100% good video
How does the centreline make a difference .. 108 / 112 degrees?
Put cams in my k20 dyno says it made more power but had to hear the vtec x over but also doesn't feel like it really made any power
Thanks
Ive got an A8 and an A4 in my shop, which one is better for this swap? Planning on dropping back into a 04 Accord sedan as a mild sleeper with the TSX intake and fuel upgrade with a tune
You did the same exact video back on Nov 28th and you used a fancy K Tuned tensioner cover. I didnt see that this time but I'm positive it's the same video.
It was shot at the same time but instead of making that video 45mins we split it into two. So yes there are some reused shots.
Very nice. Would you do a video on changing out the valve stem seals while it is still on the car?
If you watch our Mustang or S2000 Cam Swap video you'll see the procedure.
Will the drop in cam from dragcartel be a up grade on k20a type r motor from dc5 integra.im looking at rrc manifold, drop in cams and 70mm throttlebody but was told I need to degree the cams to get the gains
Dam he makes it easier that what it is!
YOU da man :) Mechanic
Is it necessary to exchange the cam gears? Or I can just plug and play?
How many torque wrenches should I buy to disassemble the engine, to remove the cylinder head, to remove the pistons, to remove the crankshaft.
How do you know what position to put the camshaft in? Take note of the original one before removing?
What cams did you install? Can you just swap in a 50 deg vtc and leave cams? I'm going to do this and Type S oil pump on my 1989 CRX K24A2.
Don't own a k-series and still watched!
Late to the party but thank you this helped allot
Lol @ someone's kijiji notification going off at 6:45
Hey mate. I've got honda crv 2013. Now if I take of chain tensioner like you have will work on a single cam aswell??
That mechanic was badass
Hey guys im replacing my vtc gear on my tsx. I saw a video where it said i needed to unlock the gear before i put it on.
Is that true?
My new gear already looks like its unlocked as i can only see the 1 on the 12.5 mark, and the old one thats still on the cam is rotated just slightly more and shows the full 12.5 mark.
So. You can do this to the k20 na of the 2017 base civic?????
Did your loosen number 2 & 3 in the loosing sequence or just went past that to 4 ?
Can you swap a k24a2 head on to a k24a8 block..i have one sadly sitting in my room ready to go but im afraid to blow something
So if u put type s cams in the k24 u have to keep the k24 cam gears?
Tried to go to your shopping page but it isn't open yet, need a cam. I have an '03 EP3 with a bad camshaft (galling), which I hear is not uncommon. I wouldn't mind doing an upgrade on the new cam, but I am still using this as a daily to work. Any suggestions on a Cam? Is a new tune required if a go with a stage 2 cam, as the car has to pass inspection? Let know if you can. Thank you.
What cams are those, I must have missed it? I want to get Drag Cartel 2.2 for my K24 CRX. Will a stock bottom end handle it okay?
How similar is this process to an f22c? Not swapping k cam
Just taking the cams out and putting back on if that makes any sense
Do you think you're going to do any more videos on the tundra? I'm looking to buy one this time next year and really enjoyed all the videos on it!
We do videos on the truck here and there but nothing on the regular. It's Dave daily driver and there's really not much else that needs to be done on it right now.
Stock ecu will work with camshaft upgrade?
I just did drag cartel 3.2 cams and the rbc cam gears but I didn’t have the pin to lock it at 35* is it fine to run it at 45*
did you use the same gears and switch out the cams
Do you need to unlock the intake VTC??
if i do it on my own will it also take 13 mins and 24 secs
11:55 yes Sir, I also like to go a little tighter-because if you locking up the adjusting screw, the valve lash opens up a bit.
I've done this job 3 times on my K20 and it luckily behaves the same over and over.
Do you guys know anything about a resurface of the adjusting screw?
Why am I asking? ->Cuz I had some issues with them on my D16ZC. They tended to flatten up.
It took me to read a bunch of valvetrain books and found a line that states: This can probably happen if you're running the engine with an enhanced valve lash. I've done everything by the book, so what's the problem right here?
So do you feel that other camshafts??
I heared that aftermarket camshafts may cause problems with tensioner, it that incorrect?
love that accent. Homes.
Mateus Racing / Prayoonto driver here showing how its done
What did u do to the exhaust gear
should do a start up :)
The torque wrench you use starts from the number of nm and ends at how many nm, I want to buy one, I do not want to get it wrong because ...
Hi! From where i can buy that regulating valves tool (in 11:35 ) Can u share link for it ,please?! Cheers!
Can valve spring k24 sapport k20a camshaft?
My dad took out the plugs and used the power steering pump to move the engine around
Whats the purpose of the cam locking pins?
so i had to replace the spring on one of my cylinders and i accidentally released all the tension on my timing chain how to i time it
what did you switch out on the cams
Does the cams add much power?
can i swap tranmission from k20 to engine k24?
9:04 that flinch tho
Has any difference with tsx cams?
How much more power should this make?
I have a k24z3 r40 bottom end in my 08 accord. Can someone please tell me which cylinder head I can swap it with?
How do you know if the chain did skip at the bottom
HEY YOU DID IT THATS ALL THAT MATTERS MOST PEOPLE CANT EVEN CHANGE A TIRE.! WOO MORE HP.! KEEP UP THE HUSTLE! 😂👍
I see an awful lot of orange silicone on that oil pan!!! lol
The k series engines don't use an oil pan gasket, just silicone
@@klarkqent not all of them are like that I just had to replace an oil pan on a AWD 2003 Honda CRV EX with the k24 engine and the pan definitely had a gasket it had a recessed groove just like the valve cover does.
No assembly line on the cams? Dry start.
Can you just change the camshaft?, you don’t need the tsx ecu? To tune.
Great video. Very informative. Question for you guys, I have a k20a3 and I have a pair of k20z3 cams and rockers in my garage. Can I swap out the cams from the a3 and put the cams from the z3 it is there more to just swapping them? Thanks
MikeMcflyy don’t know if u had this answered but u it is not a simple plug n play, the k20a3 cylinder head does not have a Lost Motion Assembly which allows the vtec lobe to rest when vtec is not engaged, u will have to do whats called a killer vtec setup
Kadeem Willock Thank you for the response
Can anyone help me. I’m dead sure my timing was on, cam sensors are oem and fully working beforehand. P0341 after a second on first start up. Is there something I’m missing when it comes to setting timing, both cam gears were facing eachother, crank pulley was on its mark. It turned over several times by hand with ease.
What cam did yall swap in ?
I was curios to see how other techs do there cam swaps, i see some key points that raise awareness i would use a paint indicator on chain and sprocket to identify tooth alignment also that. Chain tensioner looks bad why didnt hold tension when you removed it. The VTC actuator needs to be unlocked.
I was searching the comments for this. Yes, i thought the VTC had to be in unlocked position when installing it, then locked and torqued?? I'm about to put my new 50° onto stg 4 DC cams and have getting as much info as poss. Other info I've seen says it must be unlocked 🤔
Why didn't you show the most important part of the timming mark on the pully and which Mark is the one to set up with?
did you guys have to degree the camshafts
Don’t aftermarket cams have lower torque specs, I know skunk two and Bc do because they are chilled cast
Howmuch difference??? K20cam vs k24cam???
More power???
So as maintenance do a chain tensioner? Also I thought cam swaps kill dependability in a k20 unless going with tsx cams? I'm just looking for daily driver advice.
Vtec Banger don’t cam it if you plan to daily drive it. Usually gives you a more aggressive. Rougher idle ect. Good cam set on a built motor can add 15-20 whp
I may be overlooking something... but as long as your timing marks line up why do you have to keep tension on the chain?? Feel it would be easier to do without keeping tension on it when removing/reinstalling cams.
Ryan McCurdy there is another marking for the oil pump chain on the bottom of the motor, keeping the tension on the top chain keeps the gear both chains share from moving.
