I nominate the K24A4 and VQ35DE as god tier because they're still modern as fuck and kick ass even today.

the Hyundai Beta II is just as capable as this motor and it's far older
but you won't talk about that because the korean reliability meme still hangs on
I nominate MZR because its the only one I own
in before nissan scum guy gets butthurt and trashes your thread
Oh I never had doubts about those engines, my mom had a kia optima 2.4 and it was reliable as fuck if you maintained it and changed wear items like timing belts, she's got the Sonata 3.3 Lambda now which is a beast too after getting her old one totaled.
k24a4 is like one of the most anemic motors in the k series family, but ok user

I know the K24A4 isn't the most representative of the K series, but is was really good in the inexpensive hondas it came in, it's only 10 hp less than a hyundai 2.7 V6 and it's more efficient.
I'll just go with the obvious, 6bt 5.9L cummins and the 7.3l powerstroke
Noice, pre emissions where you gotta suffocate it with a dpf and scr.
