As always, almost no rust at the front bank IG coils whereas heavy corrosion at the ones on rear bank.




The one at #3 cyl was the worst affected one. Already the metal core has expanded.

Testing the spring rate of IG coil. No flash marking but the tube fitting was quite loose.
There was intermittent slight misfire at idle rpm so if it gets worse, best to replace the IG coils first.




Compression check.
All data sent to the owner through email.

Very good data although I noticed inconsistent starter cranking speed so the data could be affected by that.

The engine was warmed up at least 20min in preparation for the compression check and the battery was connected to the battery conditioner since the arrival of this NSX at my place so not battery related issue.
I didn’t notice any issues for starting the engine so not enough to act now but in the future, may need to refurbish the starter or simply replace it with reconditioned one.






The owner wanted me to install the yellow clips at the windshield lower molding and while inspecting the area, noticed that the air scoop cowl cover was not secured.
Found out that three screw holes were partially damaged and the screws were sitting behind them.

Will see what I can do.




Preparation for the Eng removal.
