Problems:

Oil consumption

Excessive oil consumption is a known issue, often due to the high-revving nature of the engine and potential wear on the piston rings.

Valve clearance

The S2000's F22C1 engine requires regular valve clearance adjustments, which can be neglected and lead to performance issues or engine damage.

Timing chain tensioner

Problems with the timing chain tensioner can occur, leading to a rattling noise, particularly on cold starts.

Vtec system

The Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) system may experience issues, such as malfunctioning solenoids or clogged oil passages, affecting performance.

Cooling system

Overheating can be a problem due to potential issues with the radiator, coolant hoses, or thermostat, especially under high-performance driving conditions.

Spark plug wear

Due to the high-performance nature of the engine, spark plugs may wear out more quickly and need more frequent replacement.

Clutch wear

The clutch can wear out prematurely, particularly with aggressive driving or frequent high-rpm shifting.

Rod bearing wear

High-revving engines like the F22C1 can be prone to rod bearing wear, which can lead to engine failure if not addressed promptly.

Fuel pump

Issues with the fuel pump can arise, leading to fuel delivery problems and reduced engine performance.

O2 sensor failure

Oxygen sensors can fail, leading to poor fuel economy and increased emissions.

Ecu problems

The Engine Control Unit (ECU) may develop faults, leading to engine misfires or other performance issues.
