Frizzle Fry: Wow is all I can say. I picked up on this build from an S2000 forum and I'm amazed at your metal working abilities and thoroughness. This thread has become addictive. I may not look at it for a while, come back, see the pics of the latest progress, read every post, and then keep checking hoping there will be more.
sleepertruck72: Just for some extra background and to show how good Honda is at building engines...the F20C uses a timing chain so there's no belt to replace, the internals are all forged so it's incredibly durable (many S2000 owners have added a turbo setup to the F20 and are putting down 580+HP to the rear wheels on the stock block and head), it has carbon fiber reinforced cylinder linings, molybdenum coated piston skirts, it held a record for fastest piston speed (4965 ft/min) which used to be in F1 engine territory, and it held the distinction of having the highest specific output (HP/liter) of any naturally aspirated production engine @120hp/liter until Ferrari released the 458 Italia just last year. To keep all of this in perspective, the F20 was designed in the late 1990's.
