    Compression check after the service carried out.


    The full data has been reported to the owner.

    [psi]

    Cyl 1: **6, Cyl 2: **7, Cyl 3: **5
    Cyl 4: **9, Cyl 5: **0, Cyl 6: **1


    Although the rear bank Cyl are still showing the lower figures, they are far better than the data before start of my service and the differences are well within the window.

    Time for another vacuum leak check and then fill the engine with Honda Type-2 Coolant.

    Left it under vacuum for 45min and happy with it so started to fill the system.

    This is 3.0L NA1 engine so it will take a little bit more than the 3.2L NA2 model.

    Again, what a short word for such a delicate and time consuming task especially at the rear bank….

    As dealing with the liquid gasket, no time ...

    Valve clearance adjustment for the Front bank is done.

    What a simple short sentence to describe the 2Hr delicate session just for the Front bank….


    Double checked the clearance and lock nut torque after finishing the 1st session, re-adjusted until I’m happy, re-torqued and then started to work on the Rear bank.


    However, I started to feel cold even all ...

    Due to the strong wind, my apple tree in the back garden broke down partially so had to deal with it with the chainsaw.


    I think I’ll be working on some of the trees over this autumn….

    Hope all of the pigeons left their nest.



    Back to working on this NSX.
