but the 2 lobe cam is only 160 hp

....& i just realized i have the 2 lobe =(

So yeah going JDM you have alot better chance at get a low mileage good motor
but you are not garenteed to get the one you want.
That's disheartening I thought your price shipped to your door for the engine was a little low for a RBB K24A, so that makes more sense now that you found out it was just the base motor. Your motor is more like the JDM version of the USDM K24A4, which is low compression and 2 lobe, as you have discovered. If you want to compete in that Gridlife class then your hands are tied, and you will have to sell this motor for the correct motor, right?
