1. MY00 motor (with MY02 oil jet bolts) with 29k. lowered compression.

2. turbo

3. ACT PP, ACT flywheel, stock disc, stock bearing

4. ~5k

5. oil relocation

6. oem filters

7. mobile 1 synthetic 10w30

8. oil pressure was monitoring after the clutch was installed. 8-12psi at idle (read off the relocation via sandwitch adapter) and ~65-70psi driving normally when warm. colder pressures are higher.

If you use search you'll see that there have been other threads just like this one. I even even created one after speaking to Dirk (ACTman) at SEMA about ACT clutches after Don (DesertWanderer) lost his engine. You won't find anything conclusive. I received reports from members with every clutch / PP combination including completely OEM that reported thrust washer failure. All the data I gathered led to no common factor or pattern. All you will learn is that S2000s with ACT clutches have the highest number of failures but keep in mind that ACT is by far the highest selling aftermarket clutch sold for the S2000.

Sorry to say but you're either on a wild goose chase or a witch hunt. Either way you won't get very far.

Yes, I have an ACT clutch.

iono, i think this thread is a good idea, and it has the most detailed questions so far--everything that i've wanted to know when reading all these crankwalk threads.

only thing is, i think we should have a thread exactly like this outside of the FI forum, as many n/a s2ks use this clutch/pp setup. there can be much to learn from gathering information like this.

AND i think ppl who have NOT experienced crankwalk should chime in and answer the questions also, so we can see the other side of the coin. just my .02

On the flip side of that I'm running the ACT prolight, hdpp and stock disk with no problems. I did defeat the clutch interlock though. I beat the piss out of my clutch and have verified 0 play with a dial indicator. It's only got 10k on it though. I really think it's a popularity problem for ACT.

I have never seen another thread that's asking all the same questions and I'm not on a witch hunt. It's more of getting all the issues in the same place so there can be one location for these issues. I've read a few threads about this and they're always all over the place, just trying to get the info into one place and it might make it easier to determine any patterns.
