yea i could help out- basicaly after my valve adj. and spark plug change- the tap i had just basically evened out. if you have a video or sound clip i could help out- i thought i had a loud nosie but after the valve adj. and spark plug change the motor sounded the same just more even if that makes sense. i am learn ing the f20c is just a loud motor- and allot of the noises i had worried about were just in my head.

^well yea the sound i have is a ticking tapping type sound. I can hear it from inside the car when driving, it gets louder as the rpms increase. It seems like it gets louder the warmer the engine is too..I kno the f20 is a loud motor, i actually drive my friends s2k yesterday to see if i heard anything like it and i could BARELY hear the same sound but just barely, mine is MUCH louder.

i didnt think of that... thanks allot. its nice to get an educated response. next deployment there will be no starting every week. BTW 20 minutes after pulling it out of storage it got a mobil 1 synthetic oil change and new filter- first place i went. Thanks for the tips! (there should be no permanet harm to my motor should their?)
Permanent engine damage? Well, I wouldn't make a habit of doing what you did but no, I seriously doubt there's any damage done to the engine itself. Getting the oil changed right away was a good thing!

Beyond that, I think the only real casualties were your spark plugs and that's an easy one to fix!

Drive Safe,

The S2000 has double overhead cams. The rockers/cam followers run right off of the camshafts.
