how long does a ka24de last before a rebuild?

[rb25crazy]

hey guys

probably a silly question, but i got an obd 2 ka24de and its running strong, im at 172k miles run like new, i change the oil every 3-5k with synthetic every time.

i'm just wondering how long these motors last! not that i am complaining, just a curiosity question. when would a rebuild be necessary and all that good stuff.

[badbob2121]

if you dont see the endless list of factors that can affect the answer to what your asking...

then your a dumbass...or trolling...

:lockd:

[project-D180]

they last as long as you take good care of it

[Encore]

im pretty sure nobody has a good answer for you, like he said to many factors. if you have the money or the know-how, at this point if its on your mind why not just get it done? better safe than sorry.

Maintenance
Money
Attention
and most importantly...
Luck


There is no expiration date/mileage on any engine.
Just ask the guy with the accord he drove a million miles (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2011/10/million-mile-car/).

that's like asking how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop.

How many?


Needs to be rebuilt every 60k because it's a shitty truck motor and just as lame as rotary.

*blatant troll post. Dont get mad at me.*


I blew one up with 1k. Some have been on the same freakin barebones ka-t setup years now with 1XX,XXX miles on em without ever having the valve cover or oil pan off....

Take care of your shit and it will take care of you.

Man they'll last FOREVER! No rebuild ever needed. Seriously!... :rolleyes:

[shiftdrift]

well my 97 has 200,403. and runs great.

My '91 is at 195k and it runs like a champ. Just keep up and take care of it and you'll be straight.

[Prime]

I had 285,xxx on the clock before the oil pump quit and devoured my bearings.

so you ran a KA with a bad tune is what you are saying.





My KA is at 272k and still running strong after tons of abuse i am swapping it but if i wasnt i am sure it would put on a ton more miles with no problems.

[boosted KA24DE]

My 91 dual cam lasted me 242,000 till it just died one day while idle.
After breaking it down it ended up being a seized up rod bearing in cylinder three. Block was fine but crank was still machineable but I scrapped it. still have the block.

[mewantkouki]

I'd say somewhere between 200-275k miles before a head gasket or oil pump claim it. It also depends heavily on maintenance and abuse.

:lockd:

^ agree, that there are a lot of factors.

In my '92 I had over 180k on my original motor before I swapped it, wish I had kept it though.

[unreal-]

Mine is at ~195k and still running strong.

i got the "its a 90k motor i swapped in" when i got the car from the previous owner (at 172k). But i took that with a grain of salt.

[Chaluska]

KA's will last exactly 315,432.02 miles before exploding into a billion pieces.

doesn't matter if you do regular oil changes or not.

[Highway Riding]

@ 195K mine still didn't blow

[whiterps13]

Yeah mines at 170k, and the odometer stopped working about two years ago. I beat the shit of it, bounce the rev-limiter on the daily, change the oil whenever I feel like it (very rarely), and it takes it like the dirty slut it is.

It's obviously 3! Didn't you watch the commercials? The owl proved it man . . .

[qwikspool]

:rawk:just do routine maintenance and drive it.

[kingkadri]

My ka24de is at 347982 km and even with over 300 thousand it runs amazing , I do regular maintenance , I use regular oil , regular gas , sometimes I use octane 94 for some nice speed but that's it , its awsome !

[deolio]

Buddy of mine went over 560k. Strict maintenance intervals and its still running strong.

I'm real hesitant to believe this but I met a member and bought a part off a guy here and his KA was original and had over 350,XXX original miles and he claims to occasionally pushes it. I was real surprised regardless lol
