hmotorsonline.com has them for $1000, but i say search the local auto wreckers 1st.

Dont forget, u will nee to use a k20a oilpan ( i believe) and u MUST use a k20 tranny ( either k20a2/k20a/k20a3)

Shoot! Im sorry guys, I meant K24A2. 1,000 bucks seems pretty reasonable for a K24A4 though.. So is the only difference between the two the head and the pistons? Im just taking a big guess.

i think the main dif is that the a2 has vtec on both of the cams and the compression ratio is higher than the a4

......im sure matt is gonna come on here and talk about valve angles and stuff


feel free to correct me if im wrong

I heard it just sits rather low. And scrapes on almost anything.
