Remanufactured Honda R20A1 Engine
This professionally remanufactured Honda R20A1 Engine is suitable for selected 2007 to June 2012 Honda CR-V RE-series vehicles originally fitted with the 2.0L R20A1 petrol engine. It provides a dependable replacement for customers requiring a Honda CR-V 2.0 Engine after their original motor has suffered excessive internal wear, overheating, low oil pressure, timing-chain damage or another major mechanical failure.
The R20A1 is a 1,997cc naturally aspirated inline four-cylinder petrol engine. It features Honda’s SOHC 16-valve i-VTEC technology, PGM-FI electronic fuel injection and a chain-driven timing system. Factory output is approximately 110kW and 190Nm, although the final output depends on the vehicle specification, engine-management system and condition of the components transferred from the original motor.



How the Honda R20A1 Engine Is Remanufactured
Every Honda R20A1 Engine is assembled using a professionally prepared cylinder block and cylinder head. The major castings are cleaned, inspected and measured before assembly. The sealing surfaces, cylinder bores, bearing surfaces, valve seats, oil passages and coolant passages are checked as part of the remanufacturing process.
The cylinder block and cylinder head are remanufactured because brand-new original Honda castings are not normally available for this engine. The remaining internal wear components are replaced with new parts according to the engine’s final build specification.

What Is Included With the Honda R20A1 Engine?
The Honda R20A1 Engine is supplied as an assembled long motor. A long motor generally includes the cylinder block, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, cylinder head, valves, camshaft assembly, timing-chain system, rocker cover and sump.
The exact appearance and inclusions may vary slightly between production batches. Customers should use the current product photographs and written invoice as the final confirmation of what is supplied.

Honda CR-V 2.0 Engine Compatibility
This Honda CR-V 2.0 Engine is intended for selected third-generation Honda CR-V models manufactured from 2007 to June 2012. Applicable vehicles may include selected RE1, RE2 and RE5 chassis variants originally fitted with the R20A1 engine.
Some vehicles registered during 2012 are still the earlier RE-series CR-V and may therefore use the R20A1. This is why the listing includes selected 2012 vehicles. However, the vehicle’s engine code must still be checked before purchasing.
Important Information for 2012–2016 CR-V Owners
An R20A1 should not be advertised as a guaranteed direct replacement for an R20A5, R20A6 or R20A9. Although these motors belong to the same Honda R20 engine family, differences can exist in the cylinder head, compression, sensors, emission controls, accessories, engine-management system and vehicle installation.
Why Choose a Remanufactured Honda CR-V 2.0 Engine?
A professionally assembled Honda CR-V 2.0 Engine can provide a safer replacement option than purchasing an unknown second-hand motor. A used engine may have an incomplete service history, internal sludge, timing-chain wear, low oil pressure or previous overheating damage that cannot be identified through an external inspection.
Our remanufacturing process allows the cylinder block and cylinder head to be inspected and prepared before assembly. The engine is then built using a new crankshaft, new valves, new pistons and rings, new bearings, new timing components and new gaskets and seals.
No exchange engine is required. This means the original engine can remain with the installer until the replacement arrives and its external components, mounting points and fitment have been compared.
Common R20A1 Engine Problems to Check
Before installing a replacement Honda R20A1 Engine, the workshop must determine why the original engine failed. Installing a replacement without correcting the original fault can cause the remanufactured engine to suffer the same damage.
The workshop should inspect the vehicle for:
- • Previous overheating or coolant loss
- • Cooling-system leaks
- • A blocked or restricted radiator
- • A faulty thermostat
- • A damaged water pump
- • Incorrect cooling-fan operation
- • Low engine-oil level
- • Low or unstable engine-oil pressure
- • Oil contamination or internal sludge
- • Timing-chain, guide or tensioner wear
- • Damaged or leaking fuel injectors
- • Restricted intake or exhaust components
- • Faulty sensors or damaged wiring
- • Damaged engine mounts
- • Transmission, clutch or torque-converter faults
Professional Honda CR-V 2.0 Engine Installation
This Honda CR-V 2.0 Engine must be installed by a qualified automotive workshop. Before installation, the replacement long motor must be placed beside the original engine so the installer can compare the sump, mounts, brackets, manifolds, sensors and transmission connection.
The cooling system should be completely flushed. The radiator, thermostat, water pump, cooling fans, hoses and radiator cap must be inspected and replaced where necessary. The intake system, exhaust system and fuel injectors should also be checked for contamination or damage.
The engine-oil system must be correctly primed before the first start. New oil, a new oil filter and the correct coolant must be used. The installer must confirm oil pressure immediately after starting the engine and monitor the engine temperature during the initial running procedure.

Honda R20A1 Engine FAQs
Is this engine entirely brand new?
No. It is supplied as a professionally remanufactured long motor. The original Honda cylinder block and cylinder head are professionally remanufactured, while the crankshaft, valves, timing components and remaining internal wear parts are replaced with new components during assembly.
Why are the block and cylinder head remanufactured?
The cylinder block and cylinder head are remanufactured because brand-new original Honda castings are not normally available for this engine. The major castings are cleaned, inspected and measured before assembly.
Is the crankshaft new?
Yes. The engine is assembled using a new crankshaft, along with new valves, new pistons and rings, new bearings, new timing components and new gaskets and seals.
Which vehicles does it suit?
It is intended for selected third-generation Honda CR-V models manufactured from 2007 to June 2012, including selected RE1, RE2 and RE5 chassis variants originally fitted with the R20A1 engine.
I have a 2012 CR-V — will it fit?
Some vehicles registered during 2012 are still the earlier RE-series CR-V and may therefore use the R20A1. Customers with a 2012 vehicle must check whether it is the earlier RE series or the later RM series before ordering.
Will it replace an R20A5, R20A6 or R20A9?
An R20A1 should not be advertised as a guaranteed direct replacement for an R20A5, R20A6 or R20A9. Although these motors belong to the same Honda R20 engine family, differences can exist in the cylinder head, compression, sensors, emission controls, accessories, engine-management system and vehicle installation.
Is an exchange engine required?
No exchange engine is required. The original engine can remain with the installer until the replacement arrives and its external components, mounting points and fitment have been compared.
What does the warranty cover?
Every remanufactured Honda R20A1 Engine includes a one-year product warranty, subject to the written warranty conditions and professional installation requirements. Installation labour, transferred accessories, towing, accommodation, vehicle hire and faults caused by the vehicle's cooling, lubrication, fuel, electrical or engine-management systems are not automatically covered.
