I was referring to the K series engines in the 2006 4 cyld. Honda Accords.
I looked at one of those engines and was amazed at how different it was
from the engine in my 1999 4 cyld. Accord. It appears that everything that
is on the right side the K series engine system is on the left side of the
engine system in my Accord. Visit a Honda dealership and take a look at
it.

I read on a publicaion from Honda. The main reason was to get the exhaust
manifold closer to the catalytic converter without mounting a converter
under the hood for emission reasons.     Scott

You may be right. There must have been a reason since Honda has probably
spent over a million dollars developing and improving the engine system
that is now in almost every 4 cylinder Honda car that has been built over
the last 30 years.
They now have an engine system that is radically different. There had to
be a reason. I down loaded an article about the engine from the Honda
Tuning website. hondatuningmagazine.com
In the search engine at the website, type these words in their search engine:
K series
look for an article on the list entitled,
"All In The Family" by Keith Buglewicz and Henry Dekuyper
click on the picture of engine that is on the floor and
the picture gets really large. I downloaded the picture
and the article.
