so yeah i been reading around on some other website and i came across this topic. they said that the head gasket fits perfect with the k20. so in theory can they be put together. and it can i wonder what kind of power it'll make. ahaha well tech/mic did say engine theory.

 

I've seen them both side by side and the similarities are striking. I believe the S2000 was a test bed for the K series head. Someone must have an idea as to whether they will work.

 

to preface this, i have no idea about the newer engine except what i have seen in pictures.

but i have seen in some s2000 pics that the cams are gear driven. there is no timing belt as far as i could see.. i dont know if the k20 is also like that or if it has a belt i have no idea at all. but just to throw that out there.

 

i wonder if the vtec head are similar. and yeah i heard that the S2000 engine was the cousin of the k-series. so thats really interesting

 

I am very intrigued. Someone with a little more knowledge please step up!

They're both chain driven.

 

this idea has been covered before.

Go on......

 

and where is the information now?

 

I had actually searched this one day, and there is a topic here on HT that says that the heads are different, and they do not mount up but it didnt sound like he was really sure... What I think needs to happen is somebody to actually try this and make it work probably put out some nice numbers, then I'd be forced to go K-Series hehe....

Please somebody else shine some light on this topic... A lot of us would love to know....

 

ahah for reals is someone has the money out there or works in a good motor shop ahah can someone do it. ahha.

 

Do both engines spin the same way tho...?

good point

 

They dont spin the same direction.

 

so since they don't spin the same direction its not possible to mount the head on the block? how is it they spin different directions??? Sorry if thats a dumb question, I dont know much bout the s2k motors or the RSX motors.....

You can spin the cam backards. when you want to think about things you arent sure that match up make a list of things that you can try for trying to fit it on there.

1. Buy a gasket see if F-series and S2k are similar buy placing it on the deck.

2. Compare combustion chambers.

3. See if bore spacing the same.

 

Im pretty shure if you spin a cam backwards, your valvetrain is going to be in a world of hurt, very fast.... ramp angles come to mind....

 

Alright I understand where you guys are coming from, thanks for the quick answer....

No dont spin counter-clockwise cams clock-wise.

Completely new cams must be made.

Production car engines in marine use are made to spin backwards they have ''marine cams and stuff'' .

 

so then your theory is they both spin the same.... lol, or am i understanding this wrong?

 

anyway you can't cause changing chain to belt aint gonna happen...

Are you saying that the s2k is a belt cam gear driven? If so your're wrong.

my bad your right.. seems to be all the new motors are all chains these days.

 

the cam trigger plates and the length of cams present an issue,, they would have to be custom cams. ive never seen the blocks but i have both heads here.

the S2k rocker assembly looks like it would fit the K24 but there are no LMA bosses in the K24. the valve arrangements are the same from what i can tell.

 

wow this is so helpful in answering my queston.
