Looking at doing an engine swap on my 04 crv 5spd (Japan built vin C ). Planning to use a k24a4 out of a 05 accord.
Anyway reason for the thread, I’m having trouble finding information on pulling an engine mated to a manual, I plan on pulling the engine out the top and cannot tell if I need to pull the engine and trans all together or if I can split the them in the engine bay with enough room to clear the clutch!
secondly, since I am switching from a k24a1 to the k24a4 (I understand the k24a2 is a no go) what do I need to anticipate?
I’m planning on swapping over the oil plan, timing cover, valve cover, intake and exhaust manifolds, is this enough to have a problem free start up?
Any advise on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
