Hey guys, I'm looking to have my intake side AP1 valve retainers/keepers upgraded to OEM AP2 ones.

Does anyone have shop recommendations? I just want someone who's experienced to work on it.

Ive done some research and right now I'm considering InLine Pro. The shop can be in MD or NOVA. Please let me know if you have any refrences.

Thanks!!

 

Daisy Import Auto Care, 2878 Daisy Road Woodbine, MD 21797 (410) 489-9334 ) near Lisbon MD (about 15 minutes west of Baltimore on I-70) does a lot of Honda and Civic racing engine stuff. They did my 2 engine swaps and are very knowledgeable of the S2000. George hooked me up with the owner, Ben, a few years ago.

 

Sorry for not returning your PM. I've been super busy this weekend. I'm down in SoVA. It's a long drive for me to do it. Good luck.

 

Thats who did mine.

 

Inline Pro is a good shop from what I've heard and I would trust them with this job. However, I've also read that there is no need whatsoever to upgrade to AP2 retainers unless your AP1's have cracks already.

 

CNC Engine Dynamics in Winchester VA will most likely be the cheapest route and do awesome work

 

These guys would be a lot closer to me than Daisy Import Auto, how familiar are they with the S2000?

 

ptuning...can't go wrong

 

id do it for you, but im way out of the way. also consider they should need the car for a while. as they should adjust the valves and that requires a cold engine.

 

Thanks for the help guys! I chose Daisy Auto Import, I feel like they'll do a good job...

I would have chose InLine Pro but its a little more than an hour away, PTuning said they wont do the retainer upgrade.

They ordered all the retainers/keepers for both intake/exhaust side and a new gasket. I'll be dropping it off on Sunday and they'll work on it on Monday, I'll update with the results!
