well its 4:31am sunday oct 7, just got home.... had to tow my S because i broke an axle.. before i got home, i am with the tow truck and i see a friend on the side of the highway 91, he swing from a racoon and spun out and totalled his car...

2 S`s down in one night... i know it could have been worse..

 

i feel your pain man, i dropped a valve about 6 months ago on my way to hot import nights in pamona. i just recently got my engine back after 6 long *** months. good luck with your "s" buddy.

 

yea man.. well am going to try an change that axle today.. ma friend is pretty pissed.. will try to get pics of his wreck... asap

 

See if you can get the axle off of his car! ?? Cheap fix!

 

If it's a small animal, just aim for the thing. Better to sacrafice a bumper or lip rather than the entire car.

well my fellow s2000 owners, it seems as though i jinxed myself by responding to this topic. i just got my engine back from a long 6 month wait and now it needs to pulled again to figure out what the hell is going on. ******* tight!

setup: sleeved by benson, crank reworked by benson, pauter rods, cp pistons 9:1, port and polish w/3 angle valve job by port flow designs, super-tech valves, retainers and springs.

 

dam.. sorry 2 hear dat... wats the engine doing?

 

damn that sucks sorry to hear for u and especially ur friend!

 

well before it finally gave way, it sounded like a tractor engine. i opened the valve cover and the sprocket or whatever it's called that holds the chain, has all of it's bolts un-done.

 

lol, wow, who assembled the engine, i take it they didn't tourqe to spec, or use lock tight

who knows, good luck man
