S2000 AP1 Torque Specs for various bolts (in alpha order)

These were all taken from a Shop Manual... they are all listed in lbf-ft and if says + xx* then tighten to the initial torque spec and tighten another xx degrees. Dont forget to tighten some bolts in an inside out pattern and multiple stages (such as head bolts, oil pan bolts, or lower block bolts just to name a few).

This is not a complete list, but as much as I could handle.

This should be in the Library forum.

 

The Oil Drain Plug has a 33 ft.lb. spec in the owners manual. I have not found a reason why other than a possible typo. Page 164 MY03 (and probably others) owners manual.

EDIT: I'm just throwing this out there because I'm curious if anyone knows if this has been changed/corrected in later editions of the owners or shop manual.
To the OP: What version of the shop manual are the specs taken from? What model years does it cover? There is also a revision# It's at the bottom left of the Introduction page. eg: MY 00-03 First Edition 09/2002 1,104 pages.

 

good thread... y didn't anyone thought of this before...

 

Rear Wheel Spindle Nut - 181

This information is INCORRECT. It has been increased to 220ish I believe. It is part of a TSB honda sent out and is on the forum somewhere. But yes that was originally the torque spec.

It only works if you remove the cv driveshaft from the hub, grease the splines and re-tighten with a brand new spindle nut to 220ish ft lbs. They also say to place a small amount of grease in between where the spindle nut comes into contact with the hub.

 

The information is from a Honda Service manual First Edition 2000-2003 AP1 (revised 09/2002) Any changes are greatly appreciated, so keep them coming. I dont think I messed up more than once or twice, but we can keep them updated.

 

 

Wow, that's tight! Good job.
