Hi, I'm looking at buying a AP1 S2000, But i have heard that the Ap1s have problems with there oil jetters or something and they fail to supply oil to the rods. Is this true? Also anything else to worry about with the AP1s that I would need to change? Thanks in advance

 

There are many ppl here that have AP1's that have well over 100k. And they don't worry about oil jets.. Search dude.. you will find what you need.

 

the my00 year and its only like the first 5730 that were made or something like that im not exactly sure. buts its not problem you go get the better ones at the dealer and replace them. All you got to do is drop the oil pan unscrew the old screw in the new its no biggy. The only thing is the #1cylinder is a bitch to do cause the oil pump is in the way so it gives you trouble threading it back in straigh you just have to be patient.

 

120k almost, no problem with oil jet or valve

i would recommend goin to honda and checkin to see if it has any recalls i did this cause my tail lights were a little faded come to find out i got new tailights, spark plugs and seatbelt retractors for free (dam seat belts still dont retract worth ****) its worth callin and checking

 

dang, lots of good information. Thanks guys, I also searched but couldnt find any info on the jets. But thats good you guys covered that for me. Now I just need to find a low mileage s2k

 

you should replace them if its not too much trouble for u im planing to do this over winter just for the peace of mind.

 

ya, if its really a problem, i wouldnt mind spending a few hours putting new jets in, changing the oilpan gasket and misc other stuff to so it wouldnt damage anything in the future. Also can you guys tell me anything else I should be changing or worried about? Also what should I look out for when purchasing one

 

The two holed oil jets were produced untill midway through the 2002 MY

 

Beacuse I will be participating in future track days events, I will be having this done soon.

 

What year oil jets should I consider buying for a similar 2000 model S2000?

 

My mechanic has told me that the oil jets are not a big issue as most people make them out to be ...


except on CERTAIN tracks - the ones with very long straightaways/sweepers, where the engine will be operating at a constant high RPM with high g forces affecting it.

They do not make the 2 hole bolts anymore so just tell the dealer you want the bolts for your year.

The part # is: 15290-PCX-000
There 12$ a pop at Majestic Honda.

 

i also heard something about the ap1 valve retainers sucking ***...

 

^ if u over rev the **** out of it the retainers might crack and ull have no idea and then later down the rode you might end up droping the a valve so its a good idea to check yours and if any are cracked replace them with the ap2 retainers and keeprs.
