Just wanted to see if anyone else has had engine problems with there Honda S2000. Mine has (had) 2200 miles..
Somehow, I sucked a valve, and blew a piston. YUK.
Anyway, just wanted to let anyone out there know, and watch for problems..

 

John, if you do a search on "engine failure", you will find many threads on it...

 

You get sucked, reecespieces gets blown, what gives?

 

Dont downshift to 2nd when doing 85, I just figured that out too!

 

Am sending you a PM, Re: list of engine failures, including mine.
Don't hesitate to contact anyone who has dealt w/ this, we can probably help!

Also tell us more.

This thread gives the impression that many engines are "failing." After you eliminate the driver-caused "failures" like bad downshifts, and the very, very occassional lemon, the only recurring engine problem is the #4 cylinder problem. Am I wrong?

 

Sunchild, you are wrong. There's also a number of porous block failures.

MOST F20C engines don't fail. We have collected at least 16 failures that are not due to a missed down-shift.

16 out of 30,000 produced.

Trust Barry, he is 'da man, he knows all, he's a baby doc for christ's sake!!

 

I'm not a mathmetician, especially after a few beers...

But what exactly is the failure rate of 16 out of 30,000? I'm just curious...

Thx
