During a trackday in the heat of the moment I overrevved the engine while shifting back from 3rd to 2nd while I was still traveling a bit too quickly. When I let clutch come up I heard a higher engine note than I was used to When I looked at the speedo I saw 114km/h while I think the limit is around 105km/h in second gear (completely stock S2k MY00)

Although I haven

 

Definitely have it inspected. The little bit of money it would take to have it inspected could save you thousnads of dollars on an engine repair (sounds like a Geico commercial, lol). The over-rev can be symptom free for a long time, Billman has documented his on AP1's he has worked on.

The valve retainers are what needs to be inspected. It is my understanding the compression or leak down tests won't tell you much unless the problem has already gotten real bad. There is a write-up available complete with pictures from Billman of what to look for. The valve cover will need to be pulled, from there its possible to inspect them without removing the cams, but a dental mirror will have to be used and the person will have to know what they are looking at. I would not trust a regular Honda dealer with this unless they have an s2k specific mechanic. Try to find an aftermarket shop or some kind of performance shop that works with S2000's. If nothing else print up the write-up from Billman and take it to the mechanic (again I wouldn't recommend a dealer) and point them in the direction of what to look for.

Whatever you do, get it checked out ASAP! It's worth it even if the risk is minimal . . . its a very expensive motor.
