  1. Eng Refresh 08

    Before backing off the valve clearance adjuster,
    I always check the current clearance.

    On this engine, I was quite surprised to see imbalance of
    compression data between the cyl on such low mileage and
    late model NSX so decided to measure the existing clearance
    even more carefully.

    #1 IN: 0.19mm, 0.19mm just at the limit
    #1 EXH: 0.21mm, 0.21mm just at the limit

    #2 IN: 0.16mm, below 0.15mm too tight

    Long hours marathon session of valve clearance adjustment started.

    as my standard procedure, they were checked one more time to bring
    all 24 adjustments

  5. Low mileage LMA service 07

    What a humid day it was.
    Completely exhausted after going through the long hours
    valve clearance adjustment.

    I have no problem carrying out the TB/WP service without
    taking the engine out of the chassis but for cleaning the engine
    and replacing the LMA, I’ll definitely take the engine out
    if I have to do this again.
