im looking to buy a rsx 2002 with 96 thousand miles it has been run but i like it tho i also like the gsr.all i want to know if a k20 still good with the much miles...thank you

 

Compression test it. I swapped a k20a2 into my ep with 92k and it's perfect (after I replaced an injector).

Dumb question: How do you do a compression test on a K-series? Same thing as B-series? Pull coil packs, pull fuel or ECU fuse, unthread spark plugs, thread in tester, then crank 8-10 times?

 

but see im not gonna swap it im gonna buy the acurz rsx 2002 k20 with 96thousand and one of my friends at work told me that honda and acura are good even with alot of miles

Yeah, it's standard on all fuel injector engines. I didn't crank it that many times though.

96k isn't a lot of miles for a Honda. Period. 96k really isn't a lot for most late model cars anymore.

From what I was recently told, compression test results can be skewed on K-series motors due to the "i"-VTEC function ...

 

told wrong

and why is that?

I'll get some clarification on it ... but it makes sense. The variable timing adjusts only the intake cam ... so if the intake cam was advanced when doing the compression test, air could escape the intake valve due to being partially open, lowering the compression test results.

 

You can compression test k-series the regular way but expect low numbers.

02+ k20a2
nominal: (?)
minimum: 135 psi
max var: 28 psi

we do comp test the same on the k a we do on the b .. the i vtec has nothing to do with it. the car would have to rev into vtec to even cause any such problem.. and for the most part its the same vtec system, the only differance is that the car can adjust but itself.. but when your sitting there tuning the car over its reving at about 60 rpms per min if you were just to hold it down.. and no you will not get lower numbers.. remove the fuel fuse, hook the guage in, push the go go pedal allthe way down and crank untill the guage stops moving.. then record the differance.. anything more than 5 percent differance requires a leak down test..
any other questions ill answer but i dont check here often because this sites full of jackasses.
