</ul>
<p><strong>Pressure Plate and Clutch Disc Removal</strong></p>
<p>1. Check the height-variation of the diaphragm spring fingers using the  dial indicator. If the variation is more than the service limit, replace  the pressure plate.  <a href="http://garageninja.com/images/S2000ap1/clutch18.gif" target="_blank">See  figure</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Standard (New): 0.4 mm (0.016 in.) max.</li>
<li>Service Limit: 0.6 mm (0.024 in.)</li>
</ul>
<p>2. Install the special tools. <a href="http://garageninja.com/images/S2000ap1/clutch19.gif" target="_blank">See  figure</a>.<br />
3. To prevent warping, unscrew the pressure plate mounting bolts in a  crisscross pattern in several steps, then remove the pressure plate.<br />
4. Remove the release bearing from the pressure plate.<br />
5. Inspect the fingers of the diaphragm spring for wear at the release  bearing contact area. <a href="http://garageninja.com/images/S2000ap1/clutch20.gif" target="_blank">See  figure</a>.<br />
6. Inspect the surface of the pressure plate for wear, cracks, and  burning.<br />
7. Inspect for warpage using a straight edge and feeler gauge. Measure  across the pressure plate. If the warpage is more than the service  limit, replace the pressure plate. <a href="http://garageninja.com/images/S2000ap1/clutch21.gif" target="_blank">See  figure</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Standard (New): 0.03 mm (0.001 in.) max.</li>
<li>Service Limit: 0.15 mm (0.006 in.)</li>
</ul>
<p>8. Remove the clutch disc and special tools. <a href="http://garageninja.com/images/S2000ap1/clutch22.gif" target="_blank">See  figure</a>.<br />
9. Inspect the lining of the clutch disc for signs of slippage or oil.  If the clutch disc looks burnt or is soaked with oil, replace it. Find  the source of the oil leak if the clutch disc is soaked.<br />
10. Measure the clutch disc thickness. If the thickness is less than the  service limit, replace the clutch disc. <a href="http://garageninja.com/images/S2000ap1/clutch23.gif" target="_blank">See  figure</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Standard (New): 8.2-8.9 mm (0.32-0.35 in.)</li>
<li>Service Limit: 6.0 mm (0.24 in.)</li>
</ul>
<p>11. Measure the rivet depth from the clutch disc lining surface to the  rivets, on both sides. If the rivet depth is less than the service  limit, replace the clutch disc. <a href="http://garageninja.com/images/S2000ap1/clutch24.gif" target="_blank">See  figure 1 of 2</a>. <a href="http://garageninja.com/images/S2000ap1/clutch25.gif" target="_blank">See  figure 2 of 2</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Standard (New): 1.2-1.7 mm (0.047-0.067 in.)</li>
<li>Service Limit: 0.2 mm (0.008 in.)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Flywheel Inspection</strong></p>
<p>1. Inspect the ring gear teeth for wear and damage.<br />
2. Inspect the clutch disc mating surface on the flywheel for wear,  cracks, and burning.<br />
3. Measure the flywheel runout using a dial indicator through at least  two full turns with the engine installed. Push against the flywheel each  time you turn it to take up the crankshaft thrust washer clearance. If  the runout is more than the service limit, replace the flywheel, and  recheck the runout. Resurfacing the flywheel is not recommended. <a href="http://garageninja.com/images/S2000ap1/clutch26.gif" target="_blank">See  figure</a>.</p>

<p>The delay orifice mechanism improves clutch operation by delaying the  slave cylinder release speed when the clutch pedal is suddenly released. The delay  orifice mechanism is built into the slave cylinder.<br />
<span id="more-972"></span><br />
When the clutch pedal is pressed, the fluid pressure from the master  cylinder moves the one-way valve in the direction shown in the  illustration. The fluid flows through two passages: the orifice part and  the filter part. It then flows out to the slave cylinder to release the  pressure plate and clutch disc joint.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://garageninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/clutch4.gif" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-974" title="clutch4" src="http://garageninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/clutch4.gif" alt="" width="360" height="184" /></a></p>
<p>When the clutch pedal is released, the fluid pressure from the slave  cylinder moves the one-way valve in the direction shown in the  illustration. The one-way valve blocks the filter-part passage and  delays the clutch release speed by returning the fluid to the master  cylinder through only the orifice-part passage.</p>

<p>8. Zero the gauge to the shaft diameter.</p>
<p><a href="http://garageninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/rockerarms125.gif" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-940" title="rockerarms125" src="http://garageninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/rockerarms125.gif" alt="" width="300" height="368" /></a></p>
<p>9. Measure the inside diameter of the rocker arm, and check it for an  out-of-round condition.</p>
<ul>
<li>Rocker Arm-to-Shaft Clearance:
<ul>
<li>Standard (New): 0.021-0.041 mm (0.0008-0.0016 in.)</li>
<li>Service Limit: 0.07 mm (0.003 in.)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>HONDA S2000 F20C CYLINDER HEAD INSTALLATION PROCEDURE</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Measure the diameter of each cylinder head bolt at  point A and point B.<br />
If either diameter is less than 11.5 mm (0.45 in.), replace the cylinder  head bolt. <a href="http://garageninja.com/images/S2000ap1/cylinderhead155.gif" target="_blank">See  image</a>.<br />
<strong>2.</strong> Clean the cylinder head and block surfaces.<br />
<strong>3.</strong> Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08718-0009, to the shaded  areas of the cylinder<br />
head gasket mating surface of the block and chain case. <a href="http://garageninja.com/images/S2000ap1/cylinderhead156.gif" target="_blank">See  image</a>.<br />
<strong>4.</strong> Install the dowel pins and the new cylinder head  gasket. <a href="http://garageninja.com/images/S2000ap1/cylinderhead157.gif" target="_blank">See  image</a>.<br />
<strong>5.</strong> Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08718-0009, to the cylinder  head mating surface<br />
of the block and chain case within 5 mm of the edge of the cylinder head  gasket. <a href="http://garageninja.com/images/S2000ap1/cylinderhead158.gif" target="_blank">See  image</a>.<br />
<strong>6.</strong> Install the cylinder head on the engine block.<br />
<strong>7.</strong> Apply new engine oil to the threads and under the  heads of all the<br />
