The cam towers, rocker shafts and rocker arms are pre assembled.
The staged rocker arm assembly is placed on the head and the bolts fitted loosely.
The cams are lubricated with motor oil.
The tops of the cam towers are removed and the cams placed into the head. The cam angle sensor plates are also installed at this time.
Both the intake and exhaust cam are fitted up with sensor plates. The sensor plates will have to be modified to work with the AEM Infinity plug and play ECU we are planning to use. We will have to grind off all of the trigger nubs except one. We will show how this is done later.
The cam caps are fitted in place again.

Very good write up I just wondered when you switched heads do you have to use k20 head parts or can you use the k24 parts in the new head ?
Yes you can.
What ecu did you guys use go run it i have hear that k pro cannot run it
It depends either K pro or K flash
Hey awesome write up but was there any modifications done to the k20z3 head for the oil passage or is it a straight up pug and play
You need to modify the front cover.
What exactly must be done to the front cover?
You have to weld a piece on to cover a place that is uncovered. It is pretty apparent when you put the cover against the block
How did u mofidy the sensor plates?
I am thinking to do the same for my Accord Euro CU2 (AUS). In US is called Acura TSX 2nd gen. Do you think the K24Z3 block will mate with K20Z3 cyl. head without any modification of the water passage?
Awesome write up, I would have loved to see dyno numbers of this swap. I also have a k24z2 and I’m trying to find the best head to swap too. I really don’t want to change out all the internals. I’m not finding a lot of write ups for our engine sadly.
