I *believe* don't quote me on it, but a twin cam one can be used if you cut off the front timing part. Use the high performance felpro
Avoid cometic

I used a Felpro on the last KA-T build it was a DOHC but it worked fine.

OEM is always best.

But if your looking for aftermarket, Cos-worth has a Ka HG.

Best bet is said a de hg with timing cut off then high temp seal the front cover. That's what they all use for ka24e-t at 15lbs of boost

Everyone I know uses cometics and that's what I plan on using. I'll be running 20lbs of boost.

You can use KA24DE Metal HG and ARP Headstuds on the KA24E. I'm actually doing the same for KA24ET build soon. GL!

I run a cometic and so far I like it, hopefully you do.
