First engine being cracked i believe to have happened in shipping yes. It was right at the corner of the block so it would make sense.
2nd engine on Stock S2000 Intake Manifold and Kelford B cams made 241whp. I swapped cams (drag cartel 4's), and intake manifold (excessive 58mm) and it made 272whp.
Attached are the 2 dyno's I had from engine #2.
3rd I had a baffled pan, problem was it wasn't baffled the correct way to stop oil from going up in the timing chain.

I am curious about how much more loss there is when a K-Series is put in a rwd car like the S2000.
So the K24 is around 300hp at the crank! Nice!
We will see what this engine makes. I'm hoping it makes quite a bit more. But I've learned to just hope it stays running.

I have no personal info on this topic but I am very interested in how it works out. I am looking at K24 if and when my f22 should tire out.
I can say that Alex from Ballade Sports has a k24 in an AP2 chassis. I don't have all the details but I believe he has handsome oil issues on track. Whether serious or not I'm not sure but he might be a good resource to check with.

Hmmm, what's the downside to a lsx conversion? Weight I would guess, but the k20 must weigh more than the f20 right?
Love the f20, but if you need something that is dead reliable, cheap and makes more than enough power, consider a lsx swap. K20 is nice but not enough of a step up from the f20 to make it worth it. IMO

If I had to do it over again, it would have an LSX or I'd really like to try a 370z swap. But no money and no more time to play with mine. It's going on the dyno in a couple hours. My wife would absolutely love it if I sold it. Issue is with everything else in the car I've got $50k + in it and selling it I'd be lucky to get half that.

At the same time the K series has a taller block and that helps the rod ratio a bunch compared to the F24 stroker. 152mm rod vs a 145mm rod is a healthy difference in a good way.
