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

Dressed the engine bay.
Looks nice especially after painting the valve covers.

Time to pressure bleed the brake system.
Unlike the bleeding after the full brake system overhaul, the master cyl was not emptied even after disconnecting the brake hose so not too bad getting rid of these tiny bubbles.

Although the fluid looked to be replaced in the past, there were lots of debris inside the filter so cleaned it.




After checking that there is nothing that could be affected by the leaked hot exhaust gas, decided to go out for the test driving session.

As the owner replaced the tyres with Advan Neova AD-08 recently, I was happy to drive in the wet.
However, it was quite windy and heavy rain from time to time so not ideal and decided not to go out.
Will try it tomorrow.

This is my spare front exhaust down pipe and I think the crack on this NSX is around the marked area.
As you can see, it is covered by the heat shield so I haven’t managed to see the actual crack.

Will try to remove the shield on the car and see whether I can apply Gun Gum like method or not to seal the crack as another option.



More to follow later.
