Hey guys! i currently own an 03 s2k with 93k miles on it. I have been having misfiring issues for the past couple months now. I have done a couple of things but nothing seems to fix the problem. i started having codes P0102(misfire Cyl.2) and p1399(random misfire). Now it started throwing me all the misfire codes. The car feels like it runs fine to me. I took it to a Honda dealer today and had a diagnostic test done. My compression on cyl 2 & 3 are way low.. he said basically they are out. They said it is highly likely i have bent valves, the only way to tell is to open the head. My mind is set on a valve job. I plan to go forced induction in a year or so. I want to just change my valves,retainers,springs, etc...As far as parts go, what do you guys recommend, and what parts should i change? I see a lot of people on here recommend Supertech valves. My goal is to push no more than 400whp. should i stick with OEM parts and get ap2 retainers and keepers? any info will help me greatly.
Thanks!

 

i would vote for AP2 OEM parts. The valvetrain components are much improved.

 

before u set your mind to a valve job, pay a little extra to do a leak down test, leak down will tell you if it really is the valves that are leaking and which one is leaking, or its the cylinder that is leaking.

 

i just had a leakdown test done today at a Honda dealership. cylinders 2 & 3 are bad

 

Test results are 5%,95%,95%,4%...yea i know 2 &3 are gone.....if they are that bad can it really be bent valves?
