If you can swing it, I hear nothing but great things about the JDM K24A engines. Lesson learned! Start with the best donor engine you can afford. I also changed said head gasket and blew another one within three laps (user error that I’m too emotional to get into). Too bad it would start to not seal under boost. I leak-down tested and compression tested and it seemed fine. All year I chased a series of issues, but guess what they turned out to be? A blown head gasket from donor engine No.1.
Good ole Sheri has a horizontally mounted radiator so that brings its own cooling issues. This is the most important thing I could tell you! Start with a healthy engine or you will be chasing problems. Start with the healthiest K24A2 engine you can afford. This list will be pretty specific to the K24/K20A2 engine so from here on out when I reference “K series” that’s the engine group I’m talking about. After a year or two campaigning mine, there are some things I missed or wish I would have known going in. Time to make an updated list of things you need to do to K swap your S2000. I looked over my previous K series article and it made me think that it was time.
It’s cold and there isn’t much going on, well, except shovelling money into the S2000. It’s the off-season here in the midwest area of the United States.
