    Rear bank valve clearance adjustment was double checked and done.


    In the process of putting everything back in place.


    As mentioned previously, it is always good idea to use the alignment pin (parallel punch) for the Front bank cam shaft to align the bolt holes during the installation ...

    I don’t want to start working on the Valve clearance adjustment unless I can block several hours for the day to finish at least one bank without being interrupted.



    Even using the same tools, the result could be different because of the changes in the sensibility of the fingertip.


    For me, adjusting the valve clearance is like talking to the metal.


    Therefore, once it started, it has to be finished ...

    Time to apply conformal coating on the two CCU boards as well as the Main Relay that I re-soldered after replacing it with the new one.


    This one is going to be returned to the owner so that he can keep it in his glove box as an emergency spare.


    All of them masked and ready to be sprayed.


    Now I just need to find some time to test these two boards using my NSX with test driving ...
  4. Air Con CCU Board Service B-01

    by , 15-05-2011 at 11:40 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)



    Recently, another owner sent in his CCU board to my place.


    It was intermittent but most of the time, nothing showed up on the display and thus, nothing worked.


    This board was the original spec so even if the NSX was kept in really nice condition, there is no chance in preventing the CCU issue to happen.

  5. Air Con CCU Board Service A-01

    Unless I can block several hours without being interrupted, I won't start the Valve Clearance adjustment service.


    As I couldn’t see it was possible to do so for the day, decided to work on the A/C Climate Control Unit (CCU).


    Another owner sent in his CCU board as well so it makes sense to work on them in parallel from efficiency point of view.


    This NSX that I'm working on at the moment is fairly new and ...
