2008 Honda Civic SI
OK I know everyone has herd this question before. So here it is again. My K20Z is burning oil like crazy. I do have a Z3 head so I would like to Frankenstein the engine and get a K24 bottom for it. What would be the best one to get and year? I've herd the TSX one is the best but what year? ok was loking online and found a K24A2 Acura TSX engine from 04 to 08 will that work?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Sorry, I deal with mainly stock stuff.
If you just wanted to fix the oil burning, I'd say it's probably rings.
Did you try the search bar?

The K-series engine guys don't logon to the forum much. It might take a while for an answer.
There's quite a bit of info on K swaps and parts. It's just old stuff so you have to dig.

Yep. Most members active most of the time have stock engines with mild add-ons.
Either search around or wait some of the swapped guys to stop by

That's where most of the K info will be.....
I have a limited knowledge of K series engines......the K24 from the TSX is indeed the best choice.....but since you have the K20 head, you may be able to use the K24 from the Accord (which is a heck of a lot more common, as well as cheaper). Don't take my work for it however, and do a lot of research.
