hey davis,
add some information on :
RBC clearance-Its already there
k24a2 waterport mod-Its in there but no detailed info. I'll see what I can find.
a2/z3 pump install-Just added sir. Good idea
k20z3 heads on k24a-I guess I'm failing to see how this differs from an a2 head swap with the coolant port issue.
transmission swaps-be more specific sir.
hey guardian, have you ever run your car NA at the track? (k24/k20) what kinda numbers do you see at the track. mid 14's?
Ok well I just drove my swap home and got the famous overheat codes. I thought I burped it already but it took another half gallon when I got home. I ran the heat and I still don't get any heat.
Also I'm getting some pretty weird noises from the pulley area. It sounded like the idler but I can't really tell It's actually kind of scaring me. I'm gonna take the belt off and try to figure out which one is the culprit.
One little item to note, if you use a Z3/K24A2 style head(coolant outlet on the end of the head rather than the side like the A2 and A3) requires you to use a matching headgasket(not by the block as is usually customary) and the installation of a coolant divertor.
They have significantly different headgaskets and resulting coolant flow.
I added some clutch info and a how to burp the coolant system.
Ah the little coolant divertor, it is also called a Partition Plate, It is placed into the cooling jacket right between the inlet from the waterpump and the #1 cylinder sleeve. It helps route coolant across the front of the cylinders where the A2 style engine overheats and causes block warpage on the #2 and #3 cylinders, even without any other signs of overheating, like temp #'s.

I disassembled a S2k oil pump yesterday and it appears to have the same rotors as the Z3 pump. I couldnt actually check measurements, or do a side by side comparison, as the Z3 oil pump is all assembled and at my home shop, but they appear to be the same. Another positive for the Z3 pump.
