Re: S2000 reliability (ITRbroham)
I have about heard this issues with the early S2000's regarding the #4 piston oil starvation and spark plug miscues. And it kind of worries me becuase I have a brand new '02m S2K. But I think with proper break-in period, proper driving techniques, and proper maintenance this should not bea problem indicative to every S2K engine.
