  1. Compression Check

    As I have never worked on this NSX,

    I’m too scared to deal with the spark plugs while the engine is hot and
    also I have no idea on what was done to them in the past so I always
    remove them while the engine is cold.

    Then, re-install them to warm up the engine in preparation for the compression check.

    Once warmed up, I have to remove the spark plugs again

    most of the owners browsing through the NSXCB,
    NSX Prime, etc sites read about the scary stories about

    Nothing new here so just a quick note

    There was no crack at the coolant header tank but
    all of the coolant hoses looked very old.


    In fact, on the later spec NSX,
    you will be able to see the manufactured date stamped on most of the hoses.


    Just squashed all of the big and mid sized hoses including the ones under
    the centre floor from several
