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

Two bolts down, one more to go and I hate dealing with this upper heatshield….



Lesson learnt.
Never rub your face against the edge of brake disc…..







After bit of blood moment, the front CAT is now separated from the back box pipe.










Quite a lot of eng oil is seeping from the upper side of the front tb cover.
Probably the valve cover gasket is not seating properly.








Lots of seepage around the VTEC spool valve, oil press sender unit, etc.









Looks like the front bleeder plug at the eng block was not tight enough.
The green coolant already crystallised and sealed the leak.









Right drive shaft ready to be removed.
I don't like keeping the left side drive shaft removed when washing the eng/gbox assy especially on the AT model.
Need to think something to prevent contamination.



Time to take the eng/gbox out.



By the way, thank you to my friend in US.

Managed to find the very last Oil cooler body in the world as of this week.
It's back ordered until the end of April in Japan.
Should be with me around mid next week.
I'm going to keep the back ordered one for future usage as I'm quite sure other UK based NSX will suffer from the same issue.
