Good afternoon,
I’m trying to help my grandson with his 2014 accord Lx 2.4. It has the earth dream K24 motor. I need to pull the head to send in for rebuild. This is unlike anything I have seen online. Most look like you can pull the cam and rocker arms out as a single assembly, This has single roller on intake side and v-tech 3 rollers per cylinder on exhaust side. It has a shaft that runs through the roller rockers.
I was told by a tech, you have to pull the shaft out. But it doesn’t clear the inner fender. I still have the bridge in the way of the head bolts. Doesn’t seem right


Do I have to pull the shaft? I would have to jack up the engine probably 4" to get it to clear the fender. How do you get the bridge out to get the head bolts out. Anyone have experience with this?


The car has 170,000. It skipped timing and hit the valves for a while. He is 18 and doesn’t understand. So, I’m trying to help him out. I’m doing the work and paying for parts. I’m used to Chevy LS stuff. I will post pictures when I figure out the accepted format
Thank you

 

 

I see now why its so hard to lift up. There is 4 dowel pins on each of those 5 bridges that the cams sit in. Hmmm..........figure something out without damaging or warping anything

 

The bottom half of the cam bridges can be removed all together with the rocker arm bars still installed. Remove all of it together.

 

I got it. It was really stuck on the guide pins. I was concerned about breaking something. Thank you

 

HOW DID YOU MANGE TO SEPRATE THE ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLY FROM THE HEAD? I PULLED ALL THE CAM CAP BOLTS AND REMOVED THE CAMS. I'M EXACTLY WHERE YOU'RE AT IN THE PICTURE, I JUST DIDN'T PULL THE ROCKER SHAFT OUT LIKE YOU DID. DOES THE BASE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP COME OFF WITH THE ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLY? DID YOU USE A PRY BAR?
ANY INFO YOU CAN PROVIDE WILL BE A BIG HELP. THANKS
