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

Another coolant hose with broken fibre layer.

It was very soft and if I compress with my finger, I can even hear the fibre breaking even further.

Not sure you can get the actual shape from this photo as I couldn't hold it at ideal angle while taking the photo but it's already expanded.

Centre channel also done.






















While the TH body was cleaned by the owner in the past, as reported earlier, the butterfly makes clicking noise and not smooth feeling when opened with the finger.

It happens at fairly low opening angle.

Not sure it's causing any issues or not but never felt it on other DBW TH body.

Also, looked to be someone touched the butterfly screws. Personally, I would never touch them.

At least, all VVIS screws are still there. You can see all of the screws if you operate the mechanism with your hand.

Looked to be replaced with different ones from OEM as it looked longer.

Will use endoscope later.
