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

New valve cover gasket kit installed and degreased.





Once again, dealing with the liquid gasket so no time for the photo and just the end result.

Valve covers installed.
At next opportunity, it would be best to replace the eng GND cable as several wires were damaged by someone twisting it too much. Won't cause problem at this level but just eyesore when the engine is now so clean.
Best to do it when re-coating the valve cover next time.

I think Senninha has some contacts who can do it with short turnaround time so will try them at the next opportunity.




Still, without the red coating, it's very good way to show how the liquid gasket should be applied around the cam shaft black disc cap as well as at the corner edge of the valve cover gasket.
You don't want to see excess liquid gasket sticking out there. That's not my style.




For this side, just need to install the ACG, the oil cooler with new coolant hoses and the new RR wheel speed sensor.




Will install the VTEC Spool valve, new coolant hoses, thermostat and then cut off the broken CAT bolts, wash TH body and replace the O2 sensor.


Hope to install the engine back in the bay very soon.
