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

Preparing for the engine removal.
Upper side nearly done.





When I noticed the low level coolant, I also worried about the colour of
the fluid inside the header tank.
It was not like ordinary coolant but almost like a light brown water
with hint of green.




This means that there was almost no protection against the
corrosion and my concern became reality.

The engine rear block bleeder was completely blocked with
rusty debris and it was almost dry that I had to push them out
with some force.

It’s going to be fun flushing the system.



Front bank bleeder was not too bad.







Draining the eng block.






Not easy to see but I think the middle hose with the crank shape under the
centre floor already partially busted because part of it is very spongy.
I saw several cases in the past.







Another issue of parking the car in the same position for a long period.

The rear damper bush on both sides were split.






Loosen the crank pulley bolt at this stage.
