No arguement that if you -actually- over-rev your car you should check out the valve train. But in this case the guy didn't do it, and billman the self proclaimed "best s2k mechanic" seems more than willing to convince this guy he's gotta pay him $ to inspect the valves. When this "best mechanic", doesn't even know the actual redline of our car

to do 10500 rpms in 2nd (where honda has told us float occurs) you would need to be doing 77.5mph.

Having people on the board is great for just asking questions! Xviper and Billman are great people to ask questions that really need answers. I would have never even known of the retainer problem if I didn't do a search on over-reving. Plus, not only did Bill adjust my valves and clutch, he also took out the slack and adjusted the throttle cable as well as made the roof operational without having to come to a complete stop. He has a couple of little tricks and Im probably going to have him install my gears when it comes time. All in all, I much happier that now the S is really running great and the fear of any damage has been eliminated. My knowledge of the F20c has grown and love for it has heightened as well!

Glad it all worked out for you Bigsalgt and now you'll have
peace of mind for the new year And you'll no doubt understand
why we all trust Bill with our car

A nice happy ending
