5 Of The Most Reliable Honda Engines Ever Built, Ranked – SlashGear

One of the most reliable engines from Honda should come as no surprise, and it is the Honda K-Series like the K20, K20A, or K24. Luckily, Honda follows a very specific naming convention, and the K-Series’ following numbers refer to the size of the engine — the K20s are 2.0-liter engines while the K24s are the 2.4-liter variant. Originally hitting the market in 2001, the K-Series are beloved for their ruggedness and consistency, and many of these engines can hit 200,000 miles without reaching any major repair milestones like the dreaded ruined transmission.

Popping up in the Honda Civic SI, Element, CR-V, and many others, the K-Series engine is notable because many of the automobiles that feature it are still on the road today with little fuss. This is surprising, considering that not many vehicles can run for 20 years — or 200,000 miles — without breaking down in some manner that would make any checkbook scream. Of course that isn’t to say that you can just beat up any Honda K-Series engine, and making sure that you are keeping track of aspects like oil consumption is always key in keeping an automobile running at peak performance.
