But for now, I’m just going to keep an eye on things and pray that two bolts are enough.
I’ll find a way to get that bolt out sometime in the near future. No, it’s not perfect, but it did form a seal strong enough to get VTEC to activate. I didn’t have the right tools to extract that broken bolt, so I simply replaced the gasket and put the solenoid back on with the other two bolts. Don’t do this! As demonstrated by my car, this strategy can cause serious problems down the road. My theory? A previous owner saw there was an oil leaking from the solenoid area, but instead of doing the right thing and replacing the gasket, they decided to tighten the bolts in hopes that would stop the leak. Also, one of the other two bolts I extracted broke in half as I was threading it out. Or so I thought once I took the other two bolts out, I realized that whoever had last touched the third bolt had somehow snapped the head off, leaving the remainder of the fastener in the block. One of the three bolts that holds the solenoid to the block was straight-up missing. Upon closer inspection of the VTEC solenoid, the reason became fairly obvious. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.Yes! After months of driving this car without its second cam profile, I finally took the time to address why VTEC wasn’t working on this car. My girlfriend recentlu just picked up an 02 s2000 and is in love. and I wouod never go back and pick a different one if given the choice.
(And I only said that after finally having a built motor) The ONLY thing I wish the car had was a tiny bit more tq. I then decided to go with the fittment route. It was fun, but just not my thing (this was 2 years ago). I then decided to turn it into a trackish car. Its amazing in the winter, and evem better in the summer. I DD mine for 2 years before modding it heavily. In my opinion (and many others) it was one of the greatest engineered cars ever made. I can almost guarentee that they will turn into a collectors item in the coming years. The ones that are beat up are not worth nearly as much. A quality s2000 is worth a stupid amount of money.
