Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The F20C1 engine is known for higher oil consumption, which can lead to frequent oil top-ups and potential engine damage if not monitored.

Timing chain tensioner

The timing chain tensioner can wear out over time, leading to a rattling noise during startup and potential timing issues.

Valve clearance

The S2000’s high-revving engine requires regular valve clearance adjustments to maintain performance and prevent engine damage.

Clutch wear

Due to the sporty nature of the S2000, the clutch can wear out faster, especially with aggressive driving.

Cooling system

The cooling system, including the radiator and hoses, can develop leaks or become less efficient over time, leading to overheating issues.

Vtec solenoid

The VTEC solenoid can become clogged or fail, affecting the engine's performance and VTEC engagement.

Fuel pump

The fuel pump can fail, leading to fuel delivery issues and engine performance problems.

Ignition coils

The ignition coils can degrade over time, leading to misfires and reduced engine performance.

Crankshaft end play

Excessive crankshaft end play can develop, leading to potential engine damage and the need for a bottom-end rebuild.
