Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The F22C1 engine is known for higher oil consumption, which can be caused by worn piston rings, valve seals, or PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) issues.

Timing chain tensioner

The timing chain tensioner in the Honda S2000 can wear out, leading to a rattling noise and potentially causing timing issues.

Valve clearance

Improper valve clearance can lead to a ticking noise from the engine and can affect performance and engine longevity.

Crankshaft position sensor

A faulty crankshaft position sensor can cause starting issues, misfires, and poor engine performance.

Vtec system malfunction

Issues with the VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system can lead to poor performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and engine warning lights.

Overheating

Due to the high-performance nature of the F22C1 engine, overheating can occur if the cooling system is not properly maintained, leading to potential engine damage.

Head gasket failure

Head gasket issues can lead to coolant mixing with oil, overheating, and loss of compression, which can severely damage the engine.
