I was just about to order the replacement part but it was time to change my oil again so I grabbed some Mobil 1 10w30 High Mileage oil this time instead of the standard Mobil 1, or the other two previous contenders, Dino based Pennzoil and Syntec Edge.
I crawled under the car eyeballed the drain plug, and thought to myself, do I need my gloves? Nah, this is just an oil change. So I carefully placed the boxend wrench around the plug, give it and good yank and promptly slam my knuckles against the underside of the car. Of course it hurt like heck and a lovely dark bruise immediately started to appear. So much for not wearing gloves. My gloves have just enough padding on the backside to avoid said knuckle busting.
Anyway, I proceed to drain the oil placing the pan on top of an old pizza box to catch any spillage and replace the drain plug. I proceed to replace the filter and fill the car with the new oil.
I press the red button and bring the F20C back to life. Hmm...no ticky loose chainsaw sound? So I drive it around a while stopping every so often to listen for the sound at idle top down of course. It never came back. It has been over a week with roughly a 1000 miles and it has not returned. I have done of lot of reading on the TCT and how the oil causes the worm gear to push the other thing out and it in turn adjusts the tension on the timing change and it would seem, at least for me, I have found an oil my persnickety TCT likes.
Woohoo! It's about damn time.

Does anyone have overheating problem in the heavy traffic?

Is it normal? or Is there something wrong with my thermostat or radiator?

The engine heat is never going higher than 85C (186 F) by the way. (the first 1/3 of the engine heat gauge.)

But, when I am in heavy traffic, the accelerator pedal is causing some awkward acceleration of the car. ]]> Engine Tech / Drivetrain okeles http://s2000.com/forums/engine-tech-drivetrain/12458-overheating-in-heavy-traffic.html http://s2000.com/forums/engine-tech-drivetrain/12450-ticking-noise-on-acceleration.html Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:17:50 GMT i just got my timing chain and tct replaced and now when i drive it for the first 5 minutes or so and i hit the gas around 3000 rpm i hear a ticking... i just got my timing chain and tct replaced and now when i drive it for the first 5 minutes or so and i hit the gas around 3000 rpm i hear a ticking noise and it goes away after 5 minutes and runs smooth as can be, any idea as to what the problem is? ]]> Engine Tech / Drivetrain deepsea24 http://s2000.com/forums/engine-tech-drivetrain/12450-ticking-noise-on-acceleration.html http://s2000.com/forums/engine-tech-drivetrain/12440-clutch-dead-what-parts-do-i.html Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:39:03 GMT I have an 01 w/ 85k miles on it.

The clutch is almost completely dead so I plan on changing it. What parts do I need? I planned on changing the friction disc only, but am not sure. Should I change the pressure plate as well? What about the release bearing and pilot bearing? I am not going to change the flywheel.

I would rather do this right than having to get the transmission out again but at the same time don't want to spend more than I need/should.

Also, can anyone with experience/knowledge tell me how long changing the clutch takes? And perhaps how hard it is. This is my first time trying. I do have the proper tools, i.e. access to a shop.

Thanks,

My car burns oil when I vtec. I can see it (especially at night) in my rear view mirror. Looks like jet exhaust. ;-)

I had a compression test before I bought the car in Jan and the #s were supposedly good. I don't seem to burn any oil if I stay below 6k rpm. But surely, there must be something I can do/check/fix to stop my car from blowing smoke out its tailpipes.

Thanks,

im new to the s2000.com family, just bought a used 2003 royal blue limited edition s2000 ap1 driven only 26000 km,

i bought the s2000 as i heard it has one of the best high reving engines in the world and the shifter feel is perfect,

but to my shock after a long waiting to import my s2000 finally came form japan, (3months)
i was a little disappointed at the shifter....there is lot of play in neutral gear , and the shifter does not come back to it normal position when i let it go from either sides,not the normal springy feel ,i even changed the 2 bushing ( the cup thingy and the small ball at the end of the lever). but still no luck, its still the same after the new parts installed but the pay is fine when its in gear from 1st to 6th, should i also change the HOUSING SET on which the shifter sits in ?? or should just go for a short shifter and will it solve the play problem?

please guys help a newbie out, as im stuck.](*,)
