I was wondering if you guys can help me out with my problem....

I was driving my S2k rather hard and missed 3rd gear (first time ever), soon after the C.E.L lit up. DTC came up with multiple cylinder missfire, do any of you guys have an idea of what it may be? Also, I hear a ticking sound right over cylinder #4 (it wasnt there before missed gear), kinda sounds like a lose valve. Your input will be greatly appreciated.

 

what year is your s2k?

 

'01

sounds like that valve isnt closing all the way.

 

compression check to start

 

compression, leakdown, check the plug for physical damage.

check the retainer, those can crack if you overrev'ed it.

 

Alright guys,
Here is the lowdown on the leakdown test....

#1. 140psi
#2. 160
#3. 195
#4. 60

What can you guys tell me just by looking at these numbers? What are the highs and lows for s2k compression?

 

my bad guys those numbers I posted are compression check at normal engine operating temps.

one more quick note: I only have 39k miles.

Uh... It's pretty obvious. #4 is "ticking" and has low compression(leakdown would be in percentage). Get it torn down and check the damages.

 

I finaly got around to removing the head from my s2k and all of my exhaust valves are bent. I will be taking the head in on monday for a checkup. All cylinders a perfectly fine, they look brand new and have no visual damge. I was wondering if you guys could help me out here. I am considering a set of cams aswell as aftermarket valves, what do you guys recomend for daily driving (I live in Ca. so it needs to be smog lega).?

 

this is what happen to mine.

na they mentioned they can only replace the same motor in there. i was hoping this, but i was just amazed at how brand new the head was.

 

I finaly got the results back from the machine shop..... 8 exhaust valves bent and 5 intake along with 2 valve guides, other than that the head is in good shape.

Time for a sick buildup...

 

you money shifted your car, I would take it to the shop and have a leak down test. How loud is the tick? you could of bent a valve.

 

When you say sick build up, what do you have in mind?? Let me know if i can be of any help man.
