TB/WP/Valve Service

Front and Rear valve Cover removed.







On the later model, the routing of blowby gas was changed to prevent the issue of excessive oil mist entering the intake manifold under high G cornering.


Therefore, on this model, the rear valve cover tends to get black sticky gunk than the front.


Same on the rear bank ...

While preparing the car to drain the coolant, I noticed that the brake line at the rear was very close to the sway (anti-roll) bar even at the full droop position.

Although this is the 1st TB service for this NSX, the crank pulley bolt was not seized and came off with ease.

More than one month ago, I placed an order for lots of parts to japan.


There were several back ordered parts at that time but it didn’t bother me because I only needed the parts around mid April.

IGN coils removed.
