Mine died at 107k
Smoke? Rod escape? Did it start to knock?
Would be good to compile a list symptoms from engine failures so we can get a picture of why they fail at 100k+.

If I do it I'll get the block dipped, decked if needs be, and rehoned to OEM spec.
I thought it was not possible.

Isn't the national average on a family/work car meant to be 9K-12K?
I think with a car like the S you should be more concerned on service history and condition then mileage then look at mileage. Depends whether you want a car to cruise around on a summer day in or a car to thrash around all over the shop.

Can you rehone the FRM cylinder of the S2000?

60deg cross hatch pattern the same as many other honda engines.

Shame about the knocking/cylinder scoring s2000Tim
If the engines are throwing rods it is probably due to worn bearings yes?

A badly scored liner will require a rebore and a rehone plus oversized rings.
Although that's pretty standard, I am not sure what the FRM does to the mix and whether or not the consensus is to simply get new liners.
