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

After hand cranking the engine so many times as I have no idea on the condition of the lower side of the eng such as
the piston ring, crank and rod metal, etc, time to crank the eng using the starter.

I don’t trust the reading on the OEM oil pressure gauge but at least, you should see some movement while cranking.

Fuel system checked for any leakage including around the new Mahle fuel filter and although not touched, always check around the INJ.
















In the meantime, carrying out cooling system vacuum leak check and after leaving it for 1Hr,
happy with the result and filled the system with the Honda Type 2 blue coolant.
















New spark plug with silicone grease coated at the IG coil and just thin coat at the entrance of the coil tube.












First, quick fireup followed by proper full warm up process.



Inspection from the top and bottom of the car, no CEL is always good sign although I haven’t engaged into any gears yet as the brake system is not bled.



Haven’t carried out the compression check yet but already having good feeling as the eng sounded so smooth and quiet.







Already started working on the CCU some time ago and will complete it shortly together with Bose AMP service.

Hope carrying out the test driving session very soon.
