Engine swap.

I have a 2008 Honda accord ex engine 2.4L. My engine just blew. I want to buy a used one but was told that it does have to be 2008 only, that I can use a 2008-2012. But I’m confused as to which parts I’ll have to transfer over or if it’s just direct plug and play? K24Z2 engine. I also see that jdm alliance in LA has some for $1,200 with only 55k miles so that’s not bad but once again I’ll have to swap. Just seeing what the best route is. Thanks

As long as it's the matching k24z2 or z3 your good to go.

By "just blew" you meant the head gaskets, didn't you? Or did you mean piston/valve/rod damage?

Use car-part.com to search for engines, and it'll handle interchange for you as it's basically a web front end for Hollander
