Subframe bolts torque
I am going to double check the torque on the subframe bolts and was wondering if the torque specs are the same for both the AP1 and AP2 ? I have the AP1 torque specs but not the ap2.
Thanks,
Thanks,
Hopefully they are all gudentight

On the front subframe, the 19mm headed bolts are 85 ft lbs, and the 17mm bolts are 43 ft lbs.

FYI, Honda updated the parts. I have replaced all 4 bolts, and they all have 19mm heads now.

Yes.
I bought all new bolts fron the dealer when I put the car back together. All 6 of the bolts now use the same socket. All of the other S2000 that I have seen, have the mixed sizes. So clearly it is an updated part.

Hmm, weird... Mine are 21mm (the 2 at the very front). And also, there's 1 bolt that goes in fine until you start to torque it down... It feels like it goes in all the way because the resistance gets higher (smoothly), and increases to the point where you would normally start grabbing the torque wrench. But then you will realize that, visually, the bolt isn't all the way in (but close). It will suddenly get abnormally hard to tighten, and the bolt will make a loud metal on metal creak whenever you do get enough force to make it turn. It doesn't feel smooth either. It's like you're trying to tighten it and it won't move at all, but then at a certain torque, it just breaks and turns, with that awful creaking sound.
Can anybody help me?? I got new bolts and hopefully that will fix the problem. I removed the old bolt and besides being very rusted and a little bit stripped on the top half, it seems like it should be fine. Remember, it feels fine until it's about 2mm away from being all the way in. That's when it starts feeling stuck, and then breaks away with that creak every time enough torque is applied.
