    Finally a proper build without turbos lol. I miss my k20a2, reliable and bulletproof. Sold my RSX with 180k before moving overseas. Mechanically solid, didn't even change the accessory belt till like 150k. Best Honda engines ever.
  • @s_t_r_a_y_e_d
    this is the level of work I want to do some day.. he's clearly extremely passionate for a long long time about building engines
  • @SenpaiofNone
    The workmanship here is absolutely masterful. I have so much respect for people who put this level of detail in their work.
  • @JwblackRS
    I love your guy's production. It's like a TV show without the drama and fakeness
  • Mechanical engineer who works for a tool company that makes torque wrenches: Supporting the drive side of the torque wrench with your left hand while applying force with your right will have the torque spec be off +/- 15% or more! I didn't believe it until a technician let me try it out on our certified testing equipment. I grew up in a mechanic shop and ALWAYS see people use a torque wrench with two hands like that, but nope! Force should only be on the handle side! Hope someone finds this info useful.

    always felt like a crime watching you guys content for free
  • @ryanrydes6372
    RS was very keen especially with numbers, what a great trait for a mechanic to have, He seems to be like Midas, but instead of turning something into gold he turns it into perfection. Great job kababayang Sir Ron!
  • Your engine builder never ceases to amaze me with his skills for such great work. Takes a lot of patients to learn and become so good at it. Kudos to him!
  • @T12i99iN
    Wow that builder made the right move on buying his own equipment. I like how he said, if there was any finger pointing, the finger would point to him for any engine build failure. Mad respect!
  • I’m so glad to see itbs going in this thing! There is something about NA that you won’t understand unless you have wrung one out on the track. Also have to be a better driver too
  • @Grappler130
    Ron is a hidden gem in MN, how he's able to put those snap rings 10:04 in place by hand without tools still amazes me.
  • Ron is an All Star! My favorite video from you guys so far. Now I know why my engine is still alive after all the abuse I put it through. haha
  • @kmart625
    Holy Jesus that level of detail in your work is phenomenal! Definitely not something you see very often nowadays. Much respect!
  • @bhaiturbo
    the level of craftsmanship on the engine and the magic of the cameras merged beautifully into one incredible video. there’s gotta be more to this man’s work. i want to see him talk through his craft and build crazy stuff. I cannot wait for a full video on this K20. Absolutely beautiful stuff guys! Cheers :)
  • @sooyster4033
    I love how you took the chance to make a storyline out of all these builds. That Engine Reveal episode was so classic and so funny with "K-Cop" and Ben's reticence, but it was in fact a seed telling us how things would play out. And in the meantime we've gotten an Evo build from the other side. Masterful!
  • I've never once commented on any video ever about soundtrack choice during technical shots/voice over- this video yall fucking NAILED IT. Yall usually get it right, the perfect blend of inoffensive but present yet something about this vids' mix and song choice really jumped out at me. Love it.
  • @yuno3364
    I was just about to say "Whole video and they didn't rev the ITBs and make engine noises" - but you guys did it right at the end
  • @marcov88
    Ron knows his Shit , top work , it’s joy to watch
  • @lowtori
    Feels like I'm watching the K20 version of Woody from Toy Story getting refurbished! Love watching the precision and craft of Ronnie!
