Well if you buy the retainers and locks, it cost around $160.00 for parts.
$57.02 shipped from Honda Parts online

From the time of the over-rev, an s2k can go up to 30,000 miles before the valve finally drops.
Bottom line, driver error. And is usually NOT the guys fault who was driving when it let go. It was from a previous owner. at least it has been in the 15 cars I've found with broken retainers. All were 2nd or 3rd owner.
My retainers are like new at 100k miles.

THis tells me its a pretty good chance my car was driven pretty hard befor i owned it- so long story short my motor has been "chattering" while cold allot more then usual- i am worried that maybe it was a over rev before i owned it and/or driven low on oil. Thanks

over a thousand and a half of an inch of play.
they said to get the guides machined and have to tolerances at around seven hundred tenths of a thousand of an inch.
700 tenths of a thousandth of an inch = 700 x 0.0001 = 0.0700
