It's definitely worth. It won't yield as much power than an actaul swap but it is better than doing nothing at all. do it!

Get some real vtec going! Be careful though, the tsx head sits 19mm higher that the a3 or k20a2. Also I would open the intake and exhaust up to maximize the output.

get the rest of it. To get the true potential out of the k24a2 get a good race header and 3" exhaust, none of that dc sports crap

That would be the k24 block since it's .4 litres more.
