What MY was your S2000? If AP1, did you ever replaced the oil banjo bolts or the valve spring retainers?

I am rating 987 design and engineering based on both 987.1 and 987.2... 987.1 for SURE had inherent engine deficiencies, despite "improved" IMS bearing it is still a failure point, albeit at greatly reduced failure rate. And it had oiling and bore-scoring issues, and D-chunk. And my 987.2 had transmission issues
And honestly the ergonomics and feel of the switchgear (windows and climate controls) I thought were pretty crap compared to my AP1 and to my BRZ.
I did replace the oil squirters on my AP1. Ultimately I also had the valvespring retainers replaced but from what I understand they're only an issue of the engine is ever mechanically over-revved, not a problem if engine never exceeds 9000rpm. Both of these were fixed with the AP2, but no more 9000rpm
