Wasn't sure where to post this, but thought I should since I'm sure it's a question that people will have going forward.
I have it on authority from a source close to Honda that the only difference between the new K24Z7 engine in the Si and the K24Z3 found in the TSX/Accord is the block casting.
Everything else on and inside the motor is the same:
Crank
Pistons
Rods
Head
Cams
Valve springs / retainers
Intake manifold
Etc....
They only changed the block because of an issue with the Civic chassis and fitment. The Z3 block's oil setup didn't clear the new Civic's chassis properly so they revised the block to fix that.
Otherwise, parts should be interchangeable.
Hope this helps someone out!
