2.4L K series: 413 pounds Honda’s 2.4L K-series engines vary a bit from one another. For example, the TSX’s K24A2 that features VTEC on both camshafts weighs in at the top, followed by 2.4L Accord engines and finally the CR-V’s K24Z1.

Honda Engines Weights

50-60lbs in a box with foam pads.

Quora User, I’m a mechanical engineer with expertise in engines an such. A modern aluminum four cylinder engine in a typical economy car will weigh about 100–120kg, (220-250lb) while an engine like the cast iron 6.7L Cummins I-6 used in some Ram trucks will weigh nearly 1000 lb.

The vast majority of the problems are with 4-cylinder vehicles. In its most recent Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS) J.D. Power and Associates found that engine and transmission problems were on the rise.

4-cylinder engines tend to be fuel-efficient and are a great buy if you are looking for a small and reliable car. 4-cylinder engines have less of an impact on your carbon footprint than a 6-cylinder engine. 4-cylinder engines are commonly found in smaller, compact cars, which are easier to maneuver and park.

Most four cylinder motors can withstand up to eighty horsepower worth of nitrous oxide being injected without suffering any adverse effects.

Expect an automatic to need an overhaul around 250 to 300 thousand miles. Sooner if much towing is done. The engine should easily last 400,000 plus if taken care of.

Bottom line, as far as engine life: A V-8 of comparable power will ordinarily outlast a V-6; but no one cares, because that wear-out is years and years away. Meantime, the V-6 is cheaper to make and to buy, and probably accelerates faster, and has a bunch of other showroom-type appeals.

4-cyl is more than sufficient for long-distance driving and speeding. Porsche 944 – Wikipedia from the ’80s still has as much or more power than than many current larger engines, and 4-cyl engines have improved since then.

They are not only compact and light, but also powerful and fuel efficient, as well. In fact, the modern four-cylinder engine with a turbocharger or supercharger can deliver enough ludicrous power to outrun most V8-powered cars.
