Oh the shame - Hydrolock
#32
With 170K on it, the head needed some work. The exhaust guides were worn so the seats needed to be ground.
BTW, the shop said that the other s2000 motors had work exhaust guides too so it may be a common issue.
The best price I found for new engine was something like $3300 for the block and $2200 for the head. But then I'd have to pay for putting the engine together, adding sensors, etc. I decided to go with the rebuild for $5500 since it was the complete cost.
I got the car back on Friday just in time to tuck her in my garage to protect it from Irene.
