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

About 300 – 400cc of old oil sucked out from the top.




Fresh Mobil 1 into the new filter before installation.




The coolant hoses were replaced several years ago so still in very good condition.




Old spec air filter.
Because of the mileage and the white colour, probably this is the one from the factory as the new one is green.
Held against the strong LED light and I can see-through very well so just going to re-use it.




I washed the TH butterfly and TH body several years ago during the Eng Refresh and it’s still very clean so not going to bother washing it again this time even I’m going to drain the coolant.




Draining the coolant from the centre floor coolant pipes.
Always attach narrow tube when draining the coolant from the front and rear bank engine blocks in order to prevent the coolant from touching the exhaust area.




Inspecting the eng block drain plug.

Tiny amount of rusty debris came out from the rear bank but not blocking the plug so good condition.
