Hi guys, I just woke up... and..yes, it is 9:36 pm now..!! sigh~~
However, I just wondering if you guys wanna go to Tom's shop again... I wanna go, but, I really try to avoid the morning meet..!! hehehe, since my timing now is totally in the oppsite way with you guys...!! LOL...

 

What is your reason for asking? Eventually I would like to do another dyno run with some other S owners that did one previous as well to compare sheets. See if anything has changed.

 

If your rings are not seated properly or you have scored cylinder walls, that could be a reason for getting dirtier oil... A lower dyno number may indicate some of that.

Jim,

I have been studying up on the diff and unfortunately if it is the diff it will be hell trying to get a look at the friction washers that effectively take the place of the clutches. But I do have a boroscope which we use for inspecting diesel engines and as a result it is too large to fit in a spark plug opening so we can't get a look at the cylinder liners however it will fit inside a rear diff. I would not expect to see much but we could take a look.

I read the other thread on rear vibrations which occur only on turns under load and usually on the outer wheel. My guess is that it is in fact the diff but I am not sure of the solution.

Based on what I have read and the fact that all of the factory fill fluids in the S2000 appear to s*&%k I will be changing my rear diff fluid ASAP (4,500 miles no problems). What I can't yet figure out is to what fluid (book says GL5 or GL6, not sure what the specifics of GL6 are) as it may be too much of a good thing. Time to check on the history of other cars with this type of rear diff I think.

On vacation and bored to tears, hitting the movies tomorrow.

 

Tom, when can I go your shop in the next few days??
I usually wake up after 4:00pm.. sleep at 9 am... :0
However, let me know what time and day will be good for you..
I still need to do my tranny fluid and the sway bar..!!

 

Tom,

Derrick,
Let me know what day you are going up and I will give you a hand.
