    Although the WP looked very clean, the bearing was already making noise.
    I’ll try to take video somehow.

    Before backing off the valve clearance adjuster,
    I always check the current clearance.

    On this engine, I was quite surprised to see imbalance of
    compression data between the cyl on such low mileage and
    late model NSX so decided to measure the existing clearance
    even more carefully.

    #1 IN: 0.19mm, 0.19mm just at the limit
    #1 EXH: 0.21mm, 0.21mm just at the limit

    #2 IN: 0.16mm, below 0.15mm too tight

    Started opening the engine.




    As expected, very clean TB back plate with no melted potting from
    the CYL/CRK sensor.

    Interesting marking at the rear end of the front CAT.
    Almost as if someone pushed the cell.
    This NSX is LEV so it uses the diagonal flow CAT.
    Also, the size of each cell always looked to be smaller on the LEV model
    than the straight line CAT on very early models.

    Started washing the engine.
    Front bank looked very clean but still, there was some oil seepage
    around the valve cover gasket at the intake side and at the usual place
    such as the cam shaft disc seal.
