Not really. It has sort of the same efffect (see the formula for the metric calculation of EIGRP). You can change metrics by manipulating
K-values, but this is NOT recommended.
But when you modify the K-values, this is done for the whole router process. So on all interfaces. Globally.
Furthermore, ALL neighbors have to have the SAME K-values, or otherwise the router will not form adjacencies. So when you change it on one router,
you'll have to change it on all routers.
Modifying bandwidth or delay can be done on the interface level and is much more tunable.
You only modify the K-values when you want to change the RELATIVE importance of one of the 5-EIGRP metric components.
Suppose you want delay to count twice as much as bandwidth, you would set the K-values to 1 0 2 0 0

Subject: EIGRP K-Value Mismatch
Changing the EIGRP delay (not same for both ends) is it consider indirectly
modified the EIGRP K-value ?? Any expert can help to answer this?
Thanks and regards,
Danny
