  1. Wiper

    by , 23-06-2011 at 11:37 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)



    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.

    After thoroughly cleaning the cam shaft and the journal, started to apply the fresh oil to establish initial lubrication.
