Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer

While putting everything back in place, not much new stories so just quick summary.


Honda removed the eng bay fan from MT models from 95 onwards but kept it on all AT models all the way upto 05.
I normally remove it from 91 – 94 MT models when carrying out the Eng Refresh but this NSX is AT model so re-installed it.








The AT shift cable cover.
Quite often, you will find that this gasket swelled after covered in oil or simply dislocated or trapped when someone removed it during previous services.
Replaced with a new one.







Upper side of the Eng is pretty much done.
No spark plug yet as I must hand crank the eng first.








By the way, I always get the same question frequently.
If you want to prevent the fuel being sprayed into the eng while cranking,
just disconnect the INJ resistor or INJ busbar connector at the right side of the eng bay like this.

Depending on the INJ spec, you will have either the INJ resistor or the busbar but the connector itself is mounted at the same location.








The final mount to be torqued when re-installing the eng/gbox assy.







New oil filter filled with fresh oil.









This side is also pretty much done.

Just need to re-connect the RR w/speed sensor connector behind the boot carpet.




Vacuum fill the coolant, fuel leak check, hand cranking followed by starter cranking before fireup.
