Honda K Series Fail, What Went Wrong?

Not long ago I posted a short series of videos replacing the 2.4L K series engine in my, new to me, 2005 Honda Element. Many of you asked about what went wrong with the engine. In this video I tear the K series apart to find out why it didn’t have compression in cylinder #2. I also add useful info on timing chain replacement, as well as some other common issues to look out for on the Honda K series engine.

For those of you that want the engine, sorry, it's already been taken away. Thanks for your interest.

Thanks for watching!
