Oil Jet Inspection

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2009 Honda S2000, 2008 Honda S2000, 2007 Honda S2000, 2006 Honda S2000, and 2005 Honda S2000. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Remove the oil jet, and inspect it as follows.
- Make sure that a 1.5 mm (0.059 in.) diameter drill will go through the nozzle hole (A) (1.6 mm (0.062 in.) diameter).
- Insert the end of a 1.1 mm (0.043 in.) drill into the oil intake (1.2 mm (0.047 in.) diameter).
- Make sure the check ball (B) moves smoothly and has a stroke of approximately 4.0 mm (0.16 in.).
- Check the oil jet operation with an air nozzle. It should take at least 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm² , 28 psi) to unseat the check ball.
  NOTE: Replace the oil jet assembly if the nozzle is damaged or bent.

The mounting torque is critical. Be very precise when installing the oil jet.
Torque: 16 N.m (1.6 kgf.m, 12 lbf.ft)
