Why Did A Shop Replace This "BAD" 2019 Honda Accord 2.0L Turbo Engine? K20C4 Teardown At JUST 94K!

Video Description

For Parts go to www.Importapart.com or email us at [email protected] Today we teardown an engine I've been chasing for a long time. The Honda 2.0L Turbo K20C4 4cylinder from a 2019 Honda Accord with just 94K miles. What happened to this engine and why was it replaced? This is a core return from a local salvage yard, which means it was someone's old engine that was replaced with a good unit. This engine is found in 2018-2022 Honda Accord and 2022-2023 Acura RDX. I don't get a lot of calls or requests for these engines which compared to the 1.5L, seems like that's because they are fairly reliable. The K series has been around since 2002 and has been a staple in the Honda/Acura lineup. This particular engine makes 252hp and 273lbft of torque and is closely related to the engine in the Civic Type R. Why am I doing this? I own and run Importapart, a full service auto salvage business. Part of our model includes buying blown up and bad engines to dismantle for parts. We salvage and resell the good parts while recycling the rest. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those who do. 00:00 Intro 03:25 Removing the spark plugs and inspecting...UGLY 04:26 Unbolting the intake manifold and checking out the intake ports and intake valves...
