    As this NSX is at very low mileage, the cam lobe coating showed very little wear.



    Time to clean the engine and scrape off all these old liquid gasket residue.


    Time consuming ...

    TB removed.



    The area behind the TB drive pulley was very clean.


    This photo was taken before cleaning anything.


    The crank oil seal was also very clean so no need to replace.
