    What a hot and humid day to be inside the closed room…


    Until putting back the valve covers, couldn’t open any of the doors so it was like working inside the steamy sauna.



    At the end, decided to stop before carrying out the compression check as I’m bit too old dealing with the hot engine inside the sauna.

    Time for the re-assembly process.



    From here, it's just a matter of putting everything back in place with the consideration for the sequence so not much photos, I'm afraid.



    Oil level gauge and A/C idler pulley are installed and the Front/Rear mid TB covers are now back in place.

    Again and again and again, check the timing of each cam shafts against the crank shaft and the tension of TB.

    There is not enough room to take the photo showing the cam alignment against the marker punched on the plate cover so decided to take the one showing the alignment at the backside.

    Initially, I was told from Honda that I won’t see the JDM spec wipers until August as they were back ordered.



    However, as it happened so many times, they just arrived at my local Honda, well ahead of the predicted schedule.



    I planned to give away my old used pair to the owner but I’m glad that he can now have the new ones.

    So, decided to work on the Fuel Filter.


    Also my local Honda phoned me that the JDM spec wipers that were back ordered until August magically arrived so went to collect them.
