Can anyone post shots of what the oil pan clearance is for DC K20a/K20a2 swaps using HASport mounts? Thanks.

Here is Litterbox's eg with k24a2. I'm doing the same swap as well. From what I've read, the k20 (RSX) oil pan is deaper and thus sits lower. So if you're concerned, get a k24 (TSX)

i thought it was the other way around, since the k24s sit lower in the engine bay?

The K24 deck height is taller than that of the K20. This pushes the head itself higher in the engine bay not the other way around.

When talking about the hasport mounts in an ek, it is important to note whether you are using the ekk1 or ekk2 mounts.

ekk2 mounts move the engine 2" back into the engine bay and up an inch to help with ground clearance. However you must use the eg power steering pump, crossmember and lower arms.
