7) It has a place, or at least sleeved, stroked F-series engines have a place. The K24 conversion, even with a kit, isn't trivial. That said, there was a beautifully done conversion on an AP1 posted recently: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-na...s2000-1167027/. He used lots of Ballade parts.

If you look at the shape, the high points circled in the photo work for a K series cylinder head, but will not for an F20c/F22c head. K series combustion chambers are dome shaped like the B16a/b18c5. The F20c head camber is much tighter and shaped like a B18c1 GSR head. Those high points in the civic piston will hit the combustion chamber. As of right now we have not found a 87mm Honda K series pistons with a standard type of dome to use. For the sake of time we opted for the RS cast piston for this TEST engine. Once we find a usable Honda piston we will surely change over.
We also wasted money on OEM rods from the 2013 SI, but with fear of the rod strength not being adequate we went with Eagle rods.
