    Had to shut down myself for a while as I was not well and
    slept continuously almost 12hours.....
    I should have known better by now......
    Counterproductive when keep working continuously for many weeks......

  2. Eng Refresh Stage 1 + LMA 01

    Warmed up the engine in order to carry out the compression check before
    start of the service.

    On installing the IG coils, I noticed that there was a small slit at the flex tube on
    one of the already repaired IG coil so will see what I can do or just replace it with
    the new/used one.

  3. Compression Check

    During the annual service, I always recommend the owners to carry out the
    engine compression check to keep eye on the condition of the engine.


    I carried out Engine Refresh on this engine about 2 years ago and
    at that time, I was really pleased to see the identical compression
    result across the cylinders after the service.


    Interesting to see the condition of this engine after 2 years.

  4. Compression Check

    As I have never worked on this NSX,
    included the compression check as a part of the service menu.

    I’m too scared to deal with the spark plugs while the engine is hot and
    also I have no idea on what was done to them in the past so I always
    remove them while the engine is cold.

    Then, re-install them to warm up the engine in preparation for the compression check.

    Once warmed up, I have to remove the spark plugs again

    Time for the compression check before the service.


    As always, the full data will only be informed to the owner.

    #1cyl was bit lower than the rest but well within the spec window so nothing to worry.
