Not advertised anywhere else, maybe should have done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Colonial Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 A few thoughts: Photos of the engine compartment and interior will help. How many miles on the clock? The decals are very personal but a few of them might well put off perspective buyers (or their spouses). Rather like when selling a house, it’s often better to have a blank slate. You might have more interest if you remove them. While honesty in an ad is always a virtue, spending a bit of time and cash to sort the engine ticking issue can only reassure a buyer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanMegaS2000 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 The ticking noise when warm could be the Timing chain Tensioner. Loads online about these being a weak point for the S2000. I've just bought a Blox racing one for the same reason. Haven't manged to install yet to 100% confirm, as I'm away for work atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's known to happen with new items too! @Rob Hunter - Club Secretary bought an aftermarket one recently rather than fix the Honda part. But thanks for your kind offer! The first time mine was done was during my build, so I don't know if it was going to rattle if I didn't do it. The 2nd time was after our Alps trip in 2023 and just sometimes when dropping to idle I could hear a rattle, but not every time. The vapour blasting fixed it. You can see the shine on this video here- Here's it after blasting- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a quick fix, fix it and add another 5 grand to the asking price eh? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hunter - Club Secretary Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Yeah, I went for the normal OEM part as I managed to get a great price from Jap Service Parts. I've now got the old one to dismantle and modify. Be interesting to see how the Blox one performs as it operates in a different way to the OEM and Ballade Sports replacements 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to wind a screw into it to hold the tension, once the cover is removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanMegaS2000 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 The blox racing one is currently on overstock lower price. But delivery was expensive. So a group buy would be good idea. I seen posts in the S2K forum from the guy who designed it and sold the idea to Blox. He runs an S2000 in some American race series. I like the spring loaded ratchet idea. It seems some on the oem one, drill the oil supply hole larger. I'll report back about the Blox one when I install, but I'm at work for another 4 weeks yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
