??? did you raise the rev limiter with a hondata flash or something?? because the situation you describe here, the rpms would never be able to physically go over redline (8200rpm if memory serves correctly)

I purchased a set (16) of ap2 retainers for $56 and 32 valve cotters (keepers) for $91 from Honda.
I am having a local shop do the install. In the end, it will cost me approximately $800 inc. new headgasket and labor.

This makes me worried when sorting through the used s2k market. Any way to estimate the condition of the valves/retainers through driving the car? I usually do compression/leakdown tests on any car I buy, but I'm not taking the damn head off.

.. it revs in neutral, like 'a lot'.
I don't see how you can even compare the transmission of an s2000 to that of a frontier truck. I liked the integra transmissions and put many a thousand miles on them though. The transmission isn't normally notchy unless it's still cold, and the ability to shift without the clutch isn't a great contributor to the quality of a transmission.

Not necessarily. If you simply floor the accelerator after missing a gear, you'd be in neutral, therefore the electronic rev limiter will cut off fuel and you'll just bounce off the rev limiter. Not great for your car, but better than putting it in the wrong gear, as the tires spinning the differential/tranny/engine will cause the engine to rev to the speed of the tires, which, in the case of shifting to second instead of fourth after redlining third, will be much higher than the max RPM for the engine.
