My S2000 AP1 has a nigh rev and misfire. What your opinion on this being the cause of my problem? I change injectors, plugs, IACV, Coils and cleaned the throttle body.
Hey guys, good video I just have a little input. I like how yall ended up explaining to just make sure the lobes were pointed up rather than paying attention to the gears. Also, on my AP1 afemter doing the adjustment once I found that I had a tick so I actually had to go to the tighter end of the tolerance and tighten the screw onto the gauge to where I would have to pull the feelers out with pliers. I made sure they were still in tolerance and the feelers did not have gauges in them so I knew that they were in spec. It got rid of the tick and I've been running it over 12k miles like that now, so I assume it's done properly without burning a valve. I rev it to the moon plenty.
If you have to pull them out with players as you said that means it’s too tight sorry pal. The noise you were hearing is most probably normal sound and as they say ‘if you can’t hear it at all..you will soon smell it as you just burnt the valve’ I suspect that your valves were too tight then you adjusted it correctly and heard the normal sound and misinterpreted as ‘too loud’ and finally you adjusted it back to too tight (perhaps tighter than original)
Thanks for the video. I recently decided to check the valves and adjust it for the first time. Some of them were really tight so I adjusted them where the gauge would be snug. I was told that it should not be snug and should just have slight drag so I went and did it again and now the motor seems really noisy where as it used to be dead quiet. Is it normal that I can actually hear my valves when it’s running now, where as my engine used to run really quiet when I had it snugged?
We've heard of some EPS issues in AP1's but personally never had any major issues on our cars. Here's a good link with a step by step procedure to try and reset the EPS system. www.s2ki.com/forums/uk-ireland-s2000-community-25/eps-reset-1153945/
VEDEM RACING awesome how did you mount it? Just bolted it to your bumper? Or did you make mounts to mount it on the chassis? And love the videos man SUBSCRIBED
Holy hell. Great diy vid and having Shawn as some eye candy made it even more enjoyable to watch 😍 doing mine this weekend! 👍🏼
Kirsty Wright appreciate it! Glad it was informative and provided entertainment.. 😏 let us know how it goes!
Great Walkthrough!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Organize your tools! I’ll send you some additional rails and clips for holding the sockets, if you want…

Nice, always a good feeling getting it done. Have you done AP2 retainers ?

Do u guys go back and torque the bolts after tightening it with the special flat screw/wrench tool?
Just out of curiosity, I’ve been getting P1399 on my OBDII, could a valve adjustment stop misfires?
johnny Macon Thanks man! I really appreciate it.

Typically you will have some valve train noise, but after we adjusted ours there was less and is sounded smoother
Very good video, that gray has me in love, what size ce28?💪🏾💪🏾
Thanks man! The CE28s are 17x10+45 all the way around on 255s
Do you guys know how to reset EPS light?

Do you guys actually use a torque wrench after making the adjustment to tighten the nuts to spec?
You should torque to 14
can I leave the battery cables connected or do they need to be disconnected?
You can leave them connected
Damn the Blue Waffle Garage has quite the view!
No place better!
Watching this makes me want to pay a professional to do mine ….. u guys should watch LHT performance service S2000s.
We absolutely know all about LHT. They are the professionals of the s2000's in the US!
Just for you guys now: The valve adjustment tool on Amazon is $42 now and also Harbor Freight has a GOOD quality one for $15 when on sale.
Thanks for the heads up!
Is that the blue s2000 that I seen on google? It’s got everything the same except the color.
The S2000 is Audi Nardo Grey, are you talking about Evasive’s?
VEDEM RACING I saw an s2000 exactly like the grey one but it is blue on RUclips
Jose Chavez probably very similar, the Voltex kit is a popular option for this car
What splitter is that on your voltex bumper??
That’s a Splitter I made out of Alumalite
VEDEM RACING awesome how did you mount it? Just bolted it to your bumper? Or did you make mounts to mount it on the chassis? And love the videos man SUBSCRIBED
Appreciate the support man! I had it mounted to the chassis using custom brackets I fabricated 👍
nice intro
Appreciate it!
How come I’ve never heard about other modern engines needing valve adjustments?
I would think it’s due to the high revving nature of the F-series
So my car has 25 k on it. Don’t now if ever been done
Would definitely recommend it!
