k24a1's have the weakest bottom ends of all k24's, these are not recommended to be revved above 7900, and are weak motors, these come in bottom of the line CRV's(i think). the other's have stronger rods and pistons and can be taken up to approx 8200-8300 depending on other mods.
all that is needed to make a k24a2/a3/a4 rev all the way up to 9000rpm is forged rods and pistons. then again, you must remember that alot more work ontop of that must be done to make power all the way there ei. high end cams.
there is alot of information on this very subject at k20a.org
