Almost all of the fixing nuts for the valve covers were not tight enough especially the ones under the IGN Coil covers. They were just finger tight. Probably, the valve cover gaskets, seals and the round disc seals under the nuts were not replaced during the last TB service and thus, couldn’t get proper ...
Three hoses under the centre floor section are done. Moving onto the engine bay. As seen on other NSX, part of the rubber seal at the Thermostat was already deteriorated and gone missing. Replaced it with the new spec. ...
