    Have been working on another NSX for several days now so
    catching up on updating the blog.

    The service menu is the Eng Refresh + LMA and based on the previous
    investigation on this engine, it requires the head gasket job as well.
    Ideally, I wanted to combine as many services as possible while the
    engine is out of the bay but it is important to discuss the priorities with
    the owner as well.

    So, based

    The air cleaner element was placed on top of the bright LED light and
    although it managed to pass through some lights as in the photo,

    Started to work on another NSX from last week.
    The service menu is the Eng Refresh + LMA, Koyo radiator, Health Check,
    drive shaft, etc.


    As same for everyone, around this time of the year, the owner was

    my place.
    On arrival, noticed lots of mud on the tyre as well as inside the wheel arch
    so after the test driving session, decided to give it a good wash

    From this week, started to work on another NSX.
    The service menu is to carry out the Engine Refresh with the LMA,

    The owner already told me that I should expect to see lots of
    oil seepage and being advised to place something under the car
    to prevent oil marking on the floor.
    Yes, he

    One of the most important task and makes my Engine Refresh service unique
    compared to the standard service by others.


    The cleaning process.


    Unless you remove the old liquid gasket, clean and create oil free surface,
    you won’t be able to make tight oil seal around the cam holders and cam disc
    resulting in oil seepage later.

    There were white liquid gasket from the factory and black one used by
