Well I got my s2k back on tuesday, I was really bummed out because the Honda mechanic just clearly had no idea what was going on and the service advisor wouldnt even make the cut at Burger King, My insurance company suggested i take my car to another dealer to see what they think, I hesitated at first because i didnt feel like footing the bill, but my adjuster said they would pick up the tab because they understand my frustration. So i went to a more reputable dealer that had a reputation among some S2000 owners i know. They put their best mechanic on the job. He dropped the oil pan and inspected the bottom end, he said that everything looked ok. (not exactly dropping the rotating assembly for a more thourogh inspection). he then used a borescope on each cyliner....his findings.......no cylinder scoring. he said everything looked perfect, not even any slight issues. He then looke dover my orgional dealers findings on compression and leakdown tests. he laughed and said this guy is a mechanic? I was like um yeah. this mechanic told me that the paper work stated that he did the test on a cold motor, LMAO. I didnt even recognize that. He also said i bet theynevre unplugged the injectors too. So he warmed my car up for about 10 mins, Did a compresion test and leakdown test and got:

245 leakdown 3%
245 3%
245 3-4%
240 3%


he also dropped a cap full of oil in each cylinder and got 255, 255, 255, 253

so the rings are in good shape. he said i saved the mtoor by immediately pumping the water out. He said i probably got a minimal amount in the cylider and the worst thing that could have happened was it cleaned out some carbon deposits. he asked me if he could take it for a test drive just to make sure everything was okay. they have a service road behind the dealer thats almost a mile long. When he came back he said, dude u got a wednesday built motor. hes worke don and driven many s2000s and said this is easily one of the strongest ones he tested. So that washed away my doom and gloom. best part of the whole things was, my girl had just bought a new civic at that dealer only 1 month before this, they only charged 1 hour labor for almost 3 hours worth of labor.

 

wow that was a great ending... whats a wedensday built motor?

this is a big weight off my shoulderz, it just goes to show you just because the stealership has a honda name on it, doesnt mean they know what the expletive is going on. i mean this tech couldnt find his *** with two hands and a flashlight if he had to,
