Hey guys, i recently purchased a K20A from a female, yes a female, but like some females, she didnt know s@#t about where or what it came out off, and i really didnt look at it cause she wanted dirt cheap for it. bad idea. now my queston is, hwo do i figure out what it came out of? and i did some research and found that its a rbc cylinder head and its got 3 lobes on both cams so it has the good vtec from what i hear, but it also has a rbc intake, but it doesnt clear the mounts on the pulley side??? whats the problem, whoever had it before tried to grind the pulley mounts down for clearence? it has the K-TUNED AC & PS delete kit on it but i dont think thats why..... can some one help figure out my problem.

K20A.org is your best bet. Who cares what it came out of? Is the swap complete?

it should have an engine stamp on it.

Is that all it says? k20a?

Might want to try this in the Hybrid forums since none these Civics ever came stock with a K-series engine. However, if you can't find the answer on K20a.org you're going to be hard pressed to find it here.

U may have to grind some material off the rbc..

pics of what your talking about.

i have a kswap (k24a2)with an RBC and have the AC/PS delete pully and have no clearence problem
although i did shave off the oem pulley thingy
dont be scared to take a grinder to the manifold and make things fit.

thanks rick, that helps, i still would like to know why i have a RBC cylinder head and a RBC intake and they wont just mate together without any problems... if you or anyone can answer that, even more help appreciated

and i heard about different intake gaskets and whatnot, is that for using the RBC on other motors or what??? thanks for all the help guys

rick_rabies

all kseries intake gasket will work, you jus have to cut off the end piece.
check meh thread cuz http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread.php?t=76744

i have a k24a2 motor (head/block) with RBc.
the RBC head and intake go together...there is the coolant jacket on the end correct?
is that what you are talking about? the pullly side right?
is the head and block both the same? (k20a) since there has been alot of k24/20 motors put together
