I find this curious? Because when I had BillMan250 do a valve adjustment / spark plug change/ etc on my 2003 AP1 @ 99,600 miles, I happen to ask him about water pump replacement? He answer was: He has never had to replace a water pump on an S2000.

The only other comment that he had was that he is a believer in using Honda coolant.

How many miles do you have on your S? And, what coolant did you use that may have caused your waterpump to need replacing?

Still holds true to this day.

Dont waste your time changing parts and guessing.

Check the weep hole on the water pump. If its not leaking then the wp is likely not you problem.

Put water pump on and bleed it completely out and drove it for 8 miles raising cane here and there trying to get it to over heat. It did not over heat at all heat stayed so hot it fekt like it burns your hands. will let you know after I drive it more. How do I post pic's I'm going to make the DIY water pump guide real quick?
