[QUOTE=street_ruler,Jan 13 2008, 06:08 PM] that cant be the case becaust why would that cause a problem? the engien would just spit out the unburnt fuel and on the next combustion cycle it would fire again correctly (if nothing were broken)

A misfire is not Detonation. Detonation is uncontrolled combustion that occurs before the piston is a TDC.
A misfire is the lack of a combustion event. It is measured by crankshaft fluctuation from a cylinder that is not providing power.
S2000's come with platinum plugs from the factory. So do most Honda's built in the last 6 years.

I questioned them they said that they only took it around the building a few laps to make sure there was no problems with the bearing or new hub, and before they changed the hub and bearing they also drove it a few laps around the building which is a pretty large street to determine it was the bearing and hub.
Any idea why I would have misfires on 1,2, and 3 but not 4 ? I have never changed my spark plugs, could all 3 have fouled at the same time ?

As mentioned above, don't accept fault for this until things have been checked out. Have the car TOWED to a honda dealership and have the snapshot checked, compression tested, and visually inspect the valves etc. If a valve is partly cracked from over rev, you may still be able to get it running "right" however catastrophic failure will result after as long as a few months.
It seems very likely they are at fault, and this may be big $$$ to fix. Get ready for a fight.

wow this is a crazy thread I work at BMW and today i got 4 different horror storys about people not knowing what they are doing and goin for 4th and hitting second and blowing up the engine. So it wouldnt surprise me at all if thats what happened. kinda weird hearing those stories then finding this today. If i were you i would get it checked out for overrev and if it was then i would hope the motor is f****d so u can just have that place buy u a new engine.
