    Now I understood why there were so much oil around the engine head as well as some of the spark plug body.



    Almost all of the fixing nuts for the valve covers were not tight enough especially the ones under the IGN Coil covers.


    They were just finger tight.



    Probably, the valve cover gaskets, seals and the round disc seals under the nuts were not replaced during the last TB service and thus, couldn’t get proper ...

    As seen on other NSX, part of the rubber seal at the Thermostat was already deteriorated and gone missing.


    Replaced it with the new spec.

  3. Cooling System 01

    Just keep removing the parts….


    Noticed that during the last TB service, some of the bolts for the TB mid covers were not placed back and missing.


    Not the first time to see this and quite common human error, I’m afraid.

    Due to the valve cover gasket not replaced or not installed properly during the last TB service, there were lots of oil seepage behind the crank pulley. ...
