    The service menu is the Engine Refresh Stage 2.

    It’s 3.2L LEV latest model and it already has later spec LMA so

    Time to take the compression after the service.


    Before the service:
    [psi]
    #1: 240, #2: 242, #3: 248, #4: 239, #5: 244, #6: 245

    Due to other projects being very busy, couldn’t spend much time on my NSX but now back in the garage again.




    Oil Pan removed and if you have the replacement o-ring, you can also remove the oil screen/strainer to completely take off the baffle plate.

    I didn’t have one so just shifted the baffle to take a quick
