thank you Poeboys for the cool video sorry all the couch mechanics feel the need to blow up the comments with everything you did wrong, could have done better, or didn't need to do at all. I cant find the links to their videos : / i wanted to see how they do it

Those exhaust valves were totally salvageable. A hot tank or even just soak in cleaner and some brass brush work. Easily cleanable. But I get it. Content.

That's crazy, not as insane but in 2019, I bought a C6 RS6 that had previously been written off/repaired. I thought it was extremely fast but hadn't driven anything else like it to compare with, so didn't think much of it. I was under it, giving it a service and noticed exhaust parts from a well known tuner. I got pretty excited, sent them an email with the plate and they confirmed it had been in with them before. It had exhaust, engine tune and trans tune, making 730bhp/1000nm. To say I was stoked is an understatement as I was planning to do those and it would have been about £3.5k - £4k

This video came out of nowhere on my recommended and was absolutely fire, all you need is one of those mics that clip onto your shirt for the consistency and clarity and I can definitely see this being a 1M channel

Honda was on that push to start before every manufacturer made it the norm, respect haha

When I traded in my built, big turbo, Focus ST, the dealership took it no questions asked. I'm sure the techs did an inspection after the fact, but the listing still called it stock.

caution: if cylinders are over-bore, a calculation may have already been made as to the viability of a turbo in future. The compression ratio will have changed, so the chance of knock may have as well. Also, the strength of the block WILL be lower, and whether or not it is low enough to be of concern is up to you. Just things to be considered before putting a turbo on an engine someone else has previously modified.

Number 1: Its glad to see this new upload. Number 2: I have a 3rd gen Honda prelude and ironically enough I have to rebuild the head and replace valve seals. This helped learn a good bit even though engine a bit diff but I mean hey, 4 banger. Thanks poe, keep it up.

That b roll in the beginning went crazy 😮‍💨 🔥🔥🔥

S2000s are legendary cars. I've owned and driven some awesome cars one of the ones that stands out is an S2000. The handling, the gearbox and that engine are an incredible package. If you drive one and you don't like it, you don't like driving.

Using a "sandblaster" type of tool with crushed walnut shells as blasting media or soaking the valves in penetrating fluid would've cleaned them up real good 👍🏻

I took the head off my GSR in my integra to do head studs, springs and retainers. Not only did I open it up and see that the car had head studs already, the car had a whole forged bottom end built for boost. For the price I paid for the car it was already a deal but with the built motor i practically stole it.

If the car had titanium valves you can’t install regular stainless valves because the titanium valves require different valves seats Like copper or bronze

The gamecube setup when panning to the racing sim. Nice.

The pistons are oem .25 over bore. Pcx is a honda part number for most s2k parts. Just letting you know. Nice car!

Kinda happened to me when I bought my 335i, knew it felt kinda fast but found out months later it was modded and tuned. Boy was I hype, the dealership didn’t mention any of that

glad to see you back can't wait for more videos keep it up poe!

Poe if that is the S2000 i think it is all ima say is you gotta be in for a small suprise xD all ima say is we got my brothers 04 Silverado out of Fort Myers and there aint to many Yellow S2000's around if i am not mistaken the build was nippon .025 pistons/SuperTech +1 valves /Supertech dual Retainers/ I wanna say it had skunk2 valve stem seals and Skunk2 Rods or Eagle Rods or hell could of been ks tuned rods but it should have ARP studs threw out also check the Throttle body. I would also like to hear more about your findings i would be dumbfounded if it was the same S2000 i think it is lol if so Im waiting for the previous owner to comment and chime in.

Glad to see you back Poe, keep up the good work bro.

It's kind of hard when you have to order valves for your car twice because you already knew they were upgraded and couldn't be bothered to mic them lol

I hope you guys measured the stroke. Because I bet you anything he’s done the stroker modification with the H22A crankshaft (if memory serves)

For those interested, you can easily clean the carbon from valves by blasting them w/ walnut shells. No, not eating a bunch of walnuts and throwing the shells at them. But, by buying crushed walnut shells and running them through your sand blaster. Walnut shells are significantly cheaper than buying a set of Titanium valves.

Glad I found yall. The S2000 is one of my gotta haves. This video was incredible. What a find! Lookin forward to future vids!

Show me the papers on 1k HP when u guys are done😊 alot of YTs says 1khp here and 2k HP there, but noone show it🙄

Did you check the deck of the head for flatness? I probably would have taken it to a machine shop and had a proper valve job performed

Reminds me of my buddy buying a ragged out junky looking Ford Bronco a few years ago. Never expected to find a completely built 331 stroker with aluminum heads on it sitting on the back lot of a used car place. Came with a long list of receipts detailing everything in the build too. He sure lucked out on that thing for only 900 bux. The paperwork added up to almost 10k worth of work.

First vid of your's that popped up in my recommended. Really enjoyed the content keep it coming bro!

Whoever purchased my 01 Corvette got a sleeper. Upgraded baby cam, tuning, 3.23 gears, and exhaust. Couldn’t hear the cam because the exhaust masked it unless you knew what to listen for. 25 ponies and 40 lb/ft across the range. The gears and that torque made it a launch monster on the street with the A4. 1.89 60 foots and 8.19 1/8th miles. True factory tires bought with the car.

You can put those exhaust valves in oven cleaner, scrub loosely, and soak for 48 hours. Should clean almost new.

Sounds like somebody was getting ready to boost that motor

That plug is there from honda Its purpose is to do exactly what you did drain the water out of your trunk You need to replace weather seals most likely or adjust your trunk lid

Honda tech here. anytime you have those cam caps off you have to do the valve lash adjustment. otherwise your going to be chasing a coldstart misfire till the end of time.

Motor was bored over probably because previous owner had oil burning issues from the FRM cylinder walls. Not uncommon for these f20 to burn oil. I know because I had 2 of them and know plenty of people who have the same issue.

The easiest way to grind valve seats is to stick piece of rubber hose on the end of the valve stem and put that in a drill. Push down on the valve head with your finger and fire up the drill to sand the seat. No more rubbing sticks

I want to guess before part 2, you said the timing was off at the start of the video, was it to make up for aftermarket cams so something locked up when you had it timed correctly?

POE!!!! Missed ya dude!! Love the content and keep it up!

You could use a sealed acetone bath to remove carbon deposits. Just keep it away from all sources of ignition.

Wonder if there was any aftermarket porting on the runners? Obviously they flow a lot of air from factory but would be interesting to know if it’s got higher air flow as well. Probably Spoon built.

Supertech Exhaust valves are not titanium. They are inconel sodium filled. It’s actually really easy to clean them up even with a lot of build up. Brake clean and 3m scotch rite red pad. Put the valves in a drill press and have some patience. Don’t use the chuck just use your hand to put the valve in. You can also just put a rag on the stem. This method works better than a hot tank or an ultra sonic tank. It’s Much faster also.

My mother bought a slightly used (only 3k miles) non-badged Chrysler Conquest TSI back in 1987. When she got it home, my dad and I looked under the hood to check out the turbo. It had a small dial with a needle and the numbers 1-7 around it. Weird. The needle was on 1, but my dad turned it up to 7 with a flathead screwdriver. Turns out it was equipped with an aftermarket turbo from the factory. Corvettes couldn't even keep up with this beast. After smoking 3 clutches in four years, my mother traded it in for an Eagle Talon. To this day she regrets that decision. It was a beautiful car. Women.

New game. Take a shot every time he says “Tanner”

0.25 mm over bore is not bored in a performance sense, it’s just the smallest increment of cylinder cleanup. That translates to 0.5% increase in displacement and is truly irrelevant.

Not sure if you are aware but if those new supertech valves were titanium then it is not suggested to use them to lap.

I got lucky with my135i, the suspension was set up for road racing. The bushings, springs and roll bars along with BMW Performance parts. That was enough for me as tuned BMW ENGINES don’t last long.

Drop the pan sometime see if it’s got rods. Those pistons lol like stock pistons just .25 over. Maybe they had to boosted hurt it, fixed it, and flipped it.

Omg poe you finally posted. Thank god. I missed you😊

S2000 are one of my favorite vehicles ever. And yellow looks killer.

Guys get a bolt, cut the head off, pop the suction cup off the wooden handle slip it on bolt. Install it in your handy power drill, as for lapping compound just go to local NAPA store and buy the Permatex brand you don't need that course/fine bullshit. Also pick up a tube of Prussian blue OR a black permanent marker. Put small blob of compound on valve spread around, drop it in and spin the shit out of it. Basically weight of drill is fine for pressure, lifting every few seconds as it spins. When you get them lapped, use marker to "paint" face of the valve and insert into clean port, push with thumb and turn by stem. Just slight turn. Remove it and see if it rubs marker off all around.

Glad y'all got the car and not some "car guy" who just puts 87 in and only cares how shiny it is.

Subbed! Decided to comment for the algorithm...I really liked this little series!

New viewer here, for one… damn you lucked out! That’s so sick! Two; you’ve earned a new subscriber 👌 keep it up

Glad to see you back Poe

I thought my car had a vacuum leak, when in fact it had some pretty rowdy cams, lol.

when you're so exited that you repeat yourself over and over throughout the entire video lol

First vid ive seen from you guys. Deff just earned a sub

when youre trying to sell your car quick and accidentally install the wrong engine.

Dude I can not wait to see Yeet running again and for Pt2 of the S2k. Welcome back 🎉❤

i have been lapping valves for marine enginew on tankerships and industrial equipment for 15 years now. the lapping should be done with a leveled engine head, and the valve should be raised-smashed-rotated, imitating the actual movement of the valve. and every so often rotate the valve a quarter or so until it goes full circle. this will guarantee uniform lapping and conditioning without streaks on the metal that might end up in burned valves

Wonder if they checked valve clearance on the new valves when opening😁Awesome video and now I have to see part two😎

The exhaust valves you removed just needed cleaned, and before you install new valves you need to have new seats cut on the valve and valve seat on the head.

Great to see you back making content Poe

A simple 0-1" micrometer is a basic tool for measuring things like valve stems and saves ya the trouble of ordering the wrong parts....

Note to self, when building or rebuilding engine measure everything. It can save you money and time.

I had a yellow 07.. loved it.. If they would bring it back, I would buy it again..

i was just rewatching old videos wishing you would upload. so stoked

That's an intake gasket if i've ever seen one.

I think keeper is the word you're looking for retainer is the flat part that the springs touch

that body plug is meant to be there from the factory.... I'd be more concerned how water got there in the first place

Glad to see you again Poe , looks like you are in a better place , looking good Brother 👍

This vid was a hidden gem.

Yoooooo we’re back congrats on everything looking in amazing shape and confident af… we’re here for it

it feels like finding out you need a new piston, head gasket and your catalytic converter was stolen so you can't pass emissions.

good thing 'tanner' knows somebody who has an understanding of cars i feel he's not the brightest

ahaha the dealer didnt tell him the engine was broke never mind built 😂 lucky you guys pro enough to fix it lol

Previous owner be like "What? this engine doesn't have vtec? I'm getting rid of it asap then" .

Missed you brother

Love to see talent like this on YT, Love the car aswell. Very cool. Tanner's voice reminds me of Bam Margera. 😅

Nice to know they upgraded it to beat the hell out of it

10:02 I see nobody has taught you the drill trick... Throw that suction cup stick away and use a drill. On heads where you can't fit the chuck on the valve stem, use a small piece of hose. Saves tons of time and sore hands, especially when you have 40 valves to do!

These dudes seem pretty cool. I can see this channel taking off.

hate to break it to ya, Honda uses a type of body sealer on those plugs in all their vehicles. They intend for the trunk to not fill with water. Id check trunk seal, and the convertible tray seal thing (cant remember name)

Unpopular opinion, but you should post more. Because of the mustang videos I may buy one

Its a common thing for car manufacturers to seal the rubber grommets underneath the car, over time ive noticed its more common in early 2000s hondas

FINALLY, missed this content.

Glad to see u and Sean gettin back to the vids missed u guys

Missed you Poe

Damn, gotta wait on a part 2. Wanted to know what the hell squeaks Like that.

Brass wirewheel will clean the valves without even scratching them.

I don't know if you did or not but spraying head gaskets with copper gasket sealer helps make everything last longer.

Looks just like the S2000 I bought in 2001. Beautiful pearl yellow..

My dad bought me a 2004 Silverado with my money without telling me cause it had a new 5.3 with 30,000 miles on it. Turns out the dude he bought it from built drag truck for a living and it was cammed with forged internals along with everything from bumper to bumper being new aftermarket parts. That was my first truck and it only cost me 4,000.

Those titanium valves are salvageable. Titanium is incredibly hard, you could go to town scraping off that carbon and the values will be spotless.

Glad to see you back Poe!

A little bit of walnut blasting at your local you-blast place would have cleaned that carbon right off without damaging the valves. I don't care what kind of storm you had, there's not supposed to be water in your trunk. You've got a water leak, probably tail light gaskets. The trunk seam funnels water right onto them. Also, I'm not 100% on the S2000, but those plugs are often sealed from the factory. Even if they're not, those plugs are meant to seal the trunk. They'll keep water out (or in) without a sealant. So leave the PO alone and fix that water leak... after you sort out that vacuum leak.

The plugs are in there like that from the factory. Water shouldn't be getting into your trunk. That's the problem. Likely your convertible top drains are backed up or your trunk seal is letting water past and its leaking in. Valves were totally saveable too. Oh well though!

At 9,000 RPM that car should have come stock with the Dual valve springs, and if it's bored out to 2.5 that would also mean that your red line should actually be somewhere between 8600 to 8800, Too Much reciprocal weight. Unless it is very well rebalanced. You might also want to check your rings quite well. And I would also have her to Guess that your PVC system is leaking like a sieve. Hey do you think you can use a little bit more lapping compound. You have probably three times more than you need. You start with the fine lapping compound because you shouldn't need a course lapping compound. It should be no more than 600. 400 you can get away with but 600 works fine. If you have a particular problem, lapping compound isn't going to fix it anyway. I know the heads are already back on it but a little bit of dry Teflon spray on the top of those Pistons will keep carbon from sticking to it. Another old trick is just smear the very slightest amount of Dielectric grease on it and that works as well. Spray some deep creep on the bottom of that trunk and allow that oil to soak in to that metal and also do it on the bottoms of the doors and around all the folds around the fenders. It will keep rust from it, I don't care where you live, but it will keep that car far more pristine for a long time.

That valve seat sanding kit is a life saver im about to rebuild my 22re and i want to throw some power into so its good to know i can just get that kit to help seat the new valves

Yeees another poe vid, glat to see you back Pd: beautiful s2000

Did you check the cams? Usually the first tell tale signs are engraving on the cam. Had my fair share of jackpot find with half cut engine from Japan scrapyard. Good luck guys...

A good quality brass wire brush wheel will remove deposits without damaging the valves...
