Honda K24W specs: 2.4L (144 ci) 4-cylinder, 87 x 99 mm (3.4252 x 3.8976 in) bore and stroke, 11.1:1 compression. Rated 185 hp, 2013–2017.
The Honda K24W is undersquare — the 3.8976" stroke exceeds the 3.4252" bore by 12.1% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.8976" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,150 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 36.0 ci (590 cc).
11.1:1 on aluminum heads is high enough that pump premium or better is normally required.
It is one of 27 engines in the K-series family, the largest at 144 ci. 5 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 185 hp across 2013–2017.
