Honda has been mounting the 4 cylinder engines and transmisions in most of
the vehicles they have made the same way for dozens of years. What are the
primary reasons Honda engineers mounted the K-series engines in vehicles
in a radically different way?
Some examples:
Placement of air filter housing; anti-lock brake system unit; fuse boxes;
alternator, etc.

Thanks in advance,
Jason

There was a great article on the K motors in an issue of Honda Tuning
Magazine about a year ago.

Jim,
Thanks. I will visit their website to see if they have the article.
I don't believe they have old or new issues at the local library.
