I think I’ll have fun breaking this bolt off when removing the rad fan shroud.








The 10A fuse for the R side condenser fan was blown.
I replaced the motor several years ago so I knew it can’t be the motor again.
So, checked the area and found this.

Something jumped inside the bumper skirt opening and pushed the condenser fins into the motor blade and jammed it.
The fuse did good job in protecting the new motor.




After studying the damage, I had no option but to trim off the sucked fin from the condenser.




Over the several years, at least this FR wheel was removed in the past.
I can tell it by how it was mounted.




Replaced the oil pan and the gasket several years ago.
It was not easy as the OEM NA2 header had to come off but if done properly, you won’t see even a tiny oil seepage for many years.








On the other hand, looks like the mating surface of the valve cover gasket was not cleaned thoroughly before installation.
Very wet around the rear bank as well as the front one.
The black round cam cap is also seeping the oil. Nothing alarming and just shows the limit of standard TB/WP service.
