Small update: Replaced both front bearings just to be sure. Rides smooth as glass now and hopefully will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Edit: totally not looking into the fact this is the first post on page 13

I was sure I hosed up something while doing the clutch and removed the engine maybe 3 times trying to fix the noise. Adiabatic posted:Small update: Replaced both front bearings just to be sure.

Think I'm out of the woods, fellas. I've got 1.5k on this clutch and it's given me no problems so far. Wheel bearings are good. Engine doesn't burn oil at anywhere near the rate of the old one and the PO-supplied magnetic drain plug has given nothing out of the ordinary. Checking oil every time I fill up from now on.

Speaking of which my A/C just stopped cooling the air, so my turn to do some digging. But I ain't complaining, it's gone through 98,500 miles of year-round Miami driving. It's earned a vacation, lol.

There is nothing like driving this car and being able to enjoy it without fear. lol if you haven't taken every part of your car apart and the car hasn't gone through a history so much abuse that every time you get in it there's a complete feeling of dread that something else needs to be repaired/tightened/replaced/refilled.

It is an S2000, it hungers for oil. It will always hunger for more oil.

Here's a question. The valve retainers are almost certainly the AP1 design, but they probably aren't too cracked just yet. Should I: A) Take the ones I bought for the other motor and put them in B) Buy new ones and put them in c) IT RUNS DON'T loving TOUCH IT YOU GOD DAMNED IDIOT

"Goon in a well" isn't even applicable. This is "Heroin addict goon who finds syringe full of murky colored fluid" territory.

It is not the cause, just something to mull over. I put them in the old engine when I rebuilt it but I haven't looked at these yet.

If you bought AP2 retainers then put them in, otherwise buy new ones. I haven't done mine yet either, but I also have never checked to see if someone else did

No troll. Weirdly enough dude had a box that he set on the side of the road afterwards. Some friend of his came and picked it up before the cops got there. At least my avatar is more accurate now

Dude, are you my long-lost brother? I think you are the only other incredibly unlucky person I know of with cars besides me (three dead E30s, one dead E36, totaled but repaired Volvo, and a dead Miata). Also the transmission in the Volvo is dead.
