I dont have the Big ol Acura Book with all the torque specs for the 06 TSX block.. does anyone have the specs for Rods, head studs, and cams??

The rods are 22 and the cam holders are 16 if I remember correctly. Look up the manual and confirm.

rod bolts: 27 ft lbs + 120 degrees rotation

head bolts: 29 ft lbs + two steps of 90 degrees rotation (another 90 on top of that if the head bolts are new)

cam cap bolts: 8mm bolts (12mm drive): 16 ft lbs, 6mm bolts (10mm drive):8.7 ft lbs

OK so this is my first 8th GEN project where I have an R18,and I am replacing it with a K 24a2
Can the R 18 Dash wire harness work with the k24 a2?

Does the R18 have CAN bus or analog signal sources? Regarding the building time of the R18 engine I would say it's a signal similar to the K24 engine speedometer. Maybe this helps: DIY: a 05+ VSS/Transmission with an 02-04 Harness
