I tried talking to my local service department and of course they won't even order the parts until they can verify I have the problem. Therefore I'll have to take my car to them twice! Geez, how much is the kit really going to cost them? You would think they could keep a kit or two on hand. I wonder what the criteria/symptom will be that determines who should get the TSB done. I'm anxiously awaiting someone to post a scan of the TSB...

I have the TSB in my hand. It's called "02-042". This applies to all S2000 for MY 00 and 01, and for '02 up thru VIN 6983.

The spark plug kit is P/N 06122-PCX-306, H/C 7230527. [I edited PCS -> PCX, my typo in original post]

Basically, this is a spark plug replacement. The instructions say to remove the old plugs, install the new, and torque to 25 N-m (18lb-ft).

There's also a sticker to paste over the owner's manual (presumably to indicate the new part number for the plugs and the new torque rating).

The sticker says that the plugs are:

NGK: PFR7G-11S
Denso: PK22PR-L11S.

In addition to specifying the higher torque setting.

Very strange, imo. Does this change the part number for NGK, Denso or AC/Champion plugs? Do other aftermarket plug makers have differing gaskets depending on the vehicle application? If not, the more significant change is the torque setting change to 18 ft-lbs.

My dealer indicates that should probably be

P/N 06122-PC5-306

although he can't find either part number??!?!?

Correction, there is a picture of the sticker here. Looks like:

NGK: PFR7G-11S
Denso: PK22PR-L11s

Hope that helps guys. If/when I *EVER* get out of this meeting I'm in, I'll try to scan this for ya's.
