I do. All the tools needed........but you should drop your car off the night before.(or get here real early) You can't adjust valves on a warm engine. It has to be stone cold!

I never have gone back in after a "Pro" adjusted the valves to get the "feel" of it but I think I got it.

 

Thinking of doing this March 21st? 3rd Saturday in the month so Cars & Coffee should be running that day in Raleigh.

If people want to cook out I can supply the grill and some soda. Would have to coordinate food for those that are coming. Otherwise we could just do a quick lunch then come back this way for the actual Tech Day. We could work till ~5:30 outside and inside the garage after that.

What would people be interested in doing?

Brett your car would need to sit for a full 8 hours before we did a valve adjustment. I could lend you the tools if you wanted to do this at your house. I already did mine.

 

21st sounds good. Ive got some family things going on right now (grandmother isn't in good shape and we're thinking about moving her to NC) so everything is tentative for me, but put me in as a probably.

 

Works for me as well.

i'll be having Billman do my valves at the dragon event but i have a couple of things to do before I go.

 

If my S is still in my possession, I'll probably need to install a new soft top. Who's up for that? *crickets*

 

In all seriousness if you would be willing to pay for install by a Pro and we get another person to join you in a soft top install we might have a S2K professional installer at this meet. He was just up in Wake Forest this past weekend. Having a couple installs would make it worth while to be at the meet.

Oh and on a side note I have a Bore Scope to peek into your cylinders. I just did this to check out my engine again and it looks the same as it did when I first put it in......including a single 3/4 long scrape up the side of cylinder #1. Nothing I can really do about it.

Might be interesting for those with higher mileages to see down inside. I only saw mine after "it went bad". This can also assure that your spark plugs are torqued correctly too.

 

I'll probably ride up for this. We might can squeeze a top install in there as well! PM me if anyone is interested.

 

BUMP!

Any other interest? I know there are some around that don't check here so I will probably hit something up on the Facebook site and possibly over on "the other forum".

Would like to see some more people here. Hopefully I get all my stuff back together before then. Have a new shop toy that I have to put together. I think with the amount of tools I have I just about could just about open up my own shop here!

 

I'm planning to go to Cars and Coffee. I'd be glad to hang out and lend a hand where I can. I think I remember my way around most of the basics when it comes to S2000s.

I have a low profile jack and 4 stands I am willing to bring, too.

 

That's great. Would be glad to have you. Will send a PM with my address.

Sadly I found out last night I don't have the right sized sockets as "pushers" for the bushings that need to come out.

So I will sadly continue my trek and get some sockets and hit up the local AutoZone for a bearing puller kit to see what sizes that kit comes with so I can do a quick rental/return.

Luckily I have a meeting on Thursday Night in Fayetteville so I can hit the Harbor Freight down there to get what I need.(phew)
