Devin, the hood can go up higher, you remove the hood prop rod and move it into the spot over by the battery (the same type of holder the hood prop sits in)
@@paulkersey6283 my boi why you gotta say that tho, it’s not easy for everyone, stop trynna prove a point to make you feel better and smarter , he’s smart simple as that
@@paulkersey6283 Yea, I'm not sure what you do for a living, but you'd be surprised at the mass amount of people that aren't even remotely mechanically inclined.
If I was going to go that far into the head I would have done all aftermarket springs and retainers, Hell I might have even done the valve stem seals while I was in there. Add in the fact that you want to boost the engine later, I would have done it for sure.
Duude! I totally know the stress! While working on my R6 and adjusting the Valve Clearances, a shim on Cylinder 1 slipped out of my hand and I had absolutely NO clue where it went. I could NOT find it and I didn't have everything sealed off. So immediately I was picturing the worst - Just putting the motor back together and hoping it's not in there, being at 16,000 rpm tucked in and the motor exploding. What I ended up doing was - I went fishing with an extendable magnet that is about 20lbs or so and it grabbed the shim from somewhere in the oil. (a 20lb magnet is annoyingly strong but worked great in that situation.) If you ever do lose a retainer again, and it's not in the oil pan, running one of those extendable magnets through the head can pick it up and grab any metal shavings that may be in there.
Devin Your A Great Guy And All But Your Showing Us A Tool, Some Of Us (Your Viewers, New Comers And Subscribers) Don't Know The Name Of That Tool, I'm 19 Years Old, I've Been Watching Your Channel For 9 Months, I Understand What That Tool Does But Don't Know The Name Of It.

Im sure it was the angle but i couldnt make out 2 keepers only 1 ahaha nice one bro.... just got to the end of the vid. great to see the little fkr show up
devin if you took bonnet stay rod out and replace in hole in passenger side inner wing it will make you lift bonnet right up until its vertical,hope it helps for next time.
I want to boost with you. Gota weld exhaust like the blue 8. Plus slot more together. Brugh like that one keeper, missing one washer. Think I can find it.
Just outta curiosity why not upgrade to titanium retainers and better valve springs and billet keepers since your already there taken all of that off anyways?
Exactly... He should honestly just go with a Supertech Valvetrain... GREAT upgrade and affordable. Been using Supertech on all my K's and F's for boost and they are fantastic. Titanium retainers Im not a huge fan of just because of the fact that they wear out fast and can break easier. Obviously for race applications, where you are replacing head and engine parts more frequently, this is not an issue, but for street cars, for more reliability purposes, I go with steel retainers.
Losing a part around the engine bay is absolutely the worst. I once lost a bolt and took 2 days to try to find it. I had to use a strong magnet to help me find it. Shit ducked so much
Dude you can take the hood rod off from the front corner and in the back left there is another factory place to put it so the hood is open more for better access
I probably would have ripped a small hole in a plastic shopping bag, pop the spring I’m working on in the hole, and use the bag to cover the rest of the head just in case. Nice find though!
i dropped a keeper in the motor one time and dropped the oil pan to retrieved it…. i wrote this comment before i knew you dropped the oil pan to retrieve a keeper 🤦🏼♂️
You should have done exhaust as well (piece of mind) and the valve seals. You are in there so do that too. You are going boost so.. To drive the car as it´s meant to be driven you should really get other rims that fit and get rid of that extreme camber.
i hate that tool i ended up using one of those from amazon with the arm and it bolts where the valve cover bolts to, i also covered up the oil galleys from learning the hard way
Love your content and cars and the fact you do all of the work yourself. But please please change the tyres! They are too stretched and it ruins the look of your beautiful S2k, even if u have to get more narrow rims.
@@Hoopers_s fully understand but the car is used. I'm all for doing a job once especially if I'm already going to be inside the head and it's not like he babies his cars either
Mine had 210k miles on it. Boosted from 50k. And I ran It hard to redline everytime I drove. Just don't think it's necessary to spend money where it's not needed.
@@Hoopers_s Springs is a great and affordable upgrade on any Honda, especially when boosted and revving the motor.. Just an added security measure. Supertech and Ferrea valve springs are much stronger and durable than the OEM Honda Springs. And they are relatively affordable as well.
With that tool you're not supposed to use the hammer to put them back in, you just push down by hand until you hear the keepers click into place!
This comment needs lots of likes. Don't even need to have a hammer to take them off.
Good to know
Thanks for this!
Thats why it has the grip on it

Ever since I saw he tunes Evos and Subarus, now Hondas... I was jaw dropped. Pure genius this kid
It’s really not hard at all if you do your research…
@@paulkersey6283 my boi why you gotta say that tho, it’s not easy for everyone, stop trynna prove a point to make you feel better and smarter , he’s smart simple as that
Some folks can't turn a wrench with research. I see it all the time.
@@Hoopers_s exactly so we gotta give credit where credit is due
@@paulkersey6283 Yea, I'm not sure what you do for a living, but you'd be surprised at the mass amount of people that aren't even remotely mechanically inclined.
Can you please get normal tires and camber on this car?
Keep doing what you do man. Watching you is inspirational and motivational to work on my project haha
This man is king when it comes to car content 🙌🏻
Devin with the daily upload. Never fails that I'll have something to watch at work instead of working. Fuck yeah.
What are the odds of finding that valve collate in the sump. Should buy a lottery ticket mate.
If I was going to go that far into the head I would have done all aftermarket springs and retainers, Hell I might have even done the valve stem seals while I was in there. Add in the fact that you want to boost the engine later, I would have done it for sure.
We all lose many parts when we are building our engines it’s a stressful moments but it’s part of building your dreams for more horsepower
Glad you found that piece 💯
Those toyo tools are awesome. I used it to change springs and retainers on my supra. Gotta get that weight on there though.
Ones of the biggest issue the AP1 models had were people running 87 octane in them and running them hard.
Ah the cheapness of America at its finest 😂

Good work Devin!
should of replaced the valve stem seals while you were there bro! but great video as always
No one could ever accused Devin of being lazy

This was one of the best vids lol.
Awesome job. Beautiful car.
Impressive work bro
Solid video!
Dude.. Hella score on the keeper find. damn
Man, that suspense was legit
🍀 lucky u found it!
You're a pure genius!!
Im sure it was the angle but i couldnt make out 2 keepers only 1
ahaha nice one bro.... just got to the end of the vid. great to see the little fkr show up
Damn, good job finding that keeper, I hate when stuff like that happens during an install.
Can’t wait till you do a crazy turbo build on this one.
devin if you took bonnet stay rod out and replace in hole in passenger side inner wing it will make you lift bonnet right up until its vertical,hope it helps for next time.
Holly shit, loosing the keeper in the motor woulda been a nightmare... lucky day
I want to boost with you. Gota weld exhaust like the blue 8. Plus slot more together. Brugh like that one keeper, missing one washer. Think I can find it.
Should cover the head when you're trying to put them back on, that way you dont go worrying if it landed in the engine or not
the same thing happen t ome doing timing chain to my Genesis Coupe, the crankshaft key drop inside the oil pan , not fun
Should have done valve seals while you were in there
It’s kinda a plus you change the gasket on the oil pan too it was probably old and leaked a bit.
Damn that was straight luck 🍀 finding that keeper
Goat
damn dude what a nite-mare. you da man!

The s2k being boosted will be badass 😈
Go go go!! Full gass!! 🤘🤘🤘

Oil looked gnarly too. Good excuse to change it 😅
Keep an eye in the LHT performance channel. They do a lot of s2k and i mean A LOT!

Let slip your going to boost it 😉

Those little keepers have almost been then death of me
you can always stuff the oil gallery’s with paper towels so it will never go down.
Anyway you can let us/me know the milage info and price you paid. I'm in WA and just listed my red AP1 for sale on offer up
i hate that tool i ended up using one of those from amazon with the arm and it bolts where the valve cover bolts to, i also covered up the oil galleys from learning the hard way
what about exhaust keepers?
Love your content and cars and the fact you do all of the work yourself. But please please change the tyres! They are too stretched and it ruins the look of your beautiful S2k, even if u have to get more narrow rims.
Why didn't you change the exhaust ones too? and replace the valve seals!
How much psi were you pushing through into the engine while doing this?
valve spring job while you were at it might have been the best idea. esp if your intent to rev it
It can do 9.5k easy on stock springs. Revs to 9k stock.

Mad!
U should do a tool box tour ?
0:18 that shii light af
Raining here as well which is needed badly
👍
Those wheels would look good black
Use a spring compressor tool, and remove the head
👍🏻
Been in that situation before hahah
Instead of our Rtv you should use Hondabon
Bro that's pressure for sure
Wow
If you own a s2000 you need to follow LHT performance on RUclips. 🙌🏼
I think we should see a drift build… I think you’d enjoy it.
Also plug up you're oil holes
You could see it fell insode on the footage
Sawwwweeet
Oh man! sitting on the edge of my seat brother!!!! We make mistakes we live and we learn! Glad you found that little bitch lol!
S2k more like s2gae ahaha im so funny
I love the s2k alright ✋😫
Littttt
That tool is good for removal, but re-install. F that tool!
It’s a Honda it will never break lol
Would be a smoother ride if you removed the wheels from a jeep.
1:32 aaand that's a lie lmao
you should k swap the s2k
Hey! Please make Russian subtitles!
I can’t turn my engine with a wrench. I’m a weak guy.
