Common K24 questions answered

That is more or less true. But the rod is still not part of the block. If I shoot a block with a shotgun (slug) that will cause the block to fail too. Does that mean the shotgun is part of the block?

You qouted the second quote of mine here earlier...did you not notice this? The first quote is what I corrected immediately.

Hey man, whats the draw backs for running lean?

[02nhbpep3]

Anybody swapped a k24a1 and used the stock clutch? My clutch seems to be holding up pretty well and I am coming very close to my spending budget and it looks like the clutch is going to be a little while longer due to me having to drive my tahoe and gas prices being horrible. I am without a doubt changing it by christmas due to upcoming boost plans, but will I be fine for a couple months?

Ya, your stock clutch should be more then fine, just check to see if the disc seems to have a decent amount of grip left, but im sure if its not slipping now, itll be some time before itll even show signs of wear, just stay away from launching it hard and youll be fine.

Your cylinder temps get too hot since the fuel cools them down. You aren't getting enough fuel so the temp gets too high.

Well with the a3 you would be fine but with all the extra tq from the k24a1 it will prob slip. The clutch is not designed for that much tq.

Just got my esmm's in today, I thought the inserts were red? The ones I got are black, is there any difference?

Why it is recommend to upgrade to the A2 or Z3 oil pump? is it a must in turbocharged k24's??

Ya there exactly the same, the color doesnt mean anything. Its more of a visual thing.

[02nhbpep3]

Sweet thanks for the response

Uh actually that is not the case. The black ones have graphite in them making them stiffer.
