how long does a ka24de last before a rebuild?
 

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.

dumbass
 

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:

they last as long as you take good care of it

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.

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.

:picardfp: lol

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

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

777 jussayin.

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

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

1 million is ridiculous - and the guy kept driving it. lol

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.

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.

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.

^ 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.

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.

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.

@ 195K mine still didn't blow

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 . . .

:rawk:just do routine maintenance and drive it.

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 !

quality first post^
