yeah i was there about 2 hours, and I drove it there. Thats what im trying to get to! They keep saying nothing is wrong with it!

Do you have anything where it says 6 hours? Like that I can print out? Im going there today after work with a stack of like 40 papers so far.
All I have is convos with mechanics who know S2000s.. You might try PMing Billman250 and see what he says - he's a great mechanic here.

Yeah but they keep trying to tell me, that is the problem. Like I would say, you need atleast 6 hours cooling time. They would say in our manual it says 2 hours. etc.

The time shouldnt matter....ultimately the issue is the temp and this is what the 00-03 service manual says about temp.





Time would just be a function of how long the car was driven, in what environment, and where it was being cooled down at. Granted, I'm sure there is a pretty good ballpark figure, I dont think many manuals would state a time for the fact of all the variables.


But....if it was 2 hours turn around time...I really dont think that would be close to 100F or lower as it states in the manual. My car is warm (almost hot) hours after I have let it sit with the hood open in my garage...
