Hey guys
Thanks for all the input and great thoughts.
I broke down the head and took it off the block.
I am keeping it NA.
Basically you're looking at a way to do a cheap k-frank
If you want to source new piston and rods it really doesn't matter which k24 block you use, since no audm k24 block has them oil squirters. They're the same 2.4 block once you gut them.
Low cost Pistons with good quality can be brought from Nippon racing (who are Nippon piston ring co). They're from Japan that's an oem Honda supplier. And you can get a set of 12 ish plus comp Pistons (with resurfaced k20 head) for less than 300. And you'll want a set of At least rdx injectors if nothing as an insurance policy.
The problem with using CU2 Pistons on a old Kfrank (ie "A" series K motors, as opposed to Z and Y)is that you're in risk of running clearance issues. Especially at high rpm. There's plenty of report/details on k20a.org of that situation. Especially when you run high vtc with a shaved head and block, or high rpm. I know you'll need to clay it regardless but running cu2 piston don't expect all good news.
Post GFC (after 2009) Honda gone into a cost cutting rage. Hence some of the shitty castings you get. It shows.
