Despite the dirty valve covers, the internal engine components such as camshaft holders, holder plates, etc were reasonably clean that is very good news. Backed off all of the valve adjusters and removed the TB. Unfortunately, all four camshaft pulleys showed some sort of black residue on the ...

I think this rubber like material on the key is UK or EU (and possibly other countries) model specific as it is not used on JDM or US Acura models. Checked ...
