After leaving the engine overnight,
there was no oil residue around the V-bank or
at the base of oil level gauge tube but sprayed the
brake cleaner one more time.






Carried out the vacuum leak check on the cooling system and
while leaving it for more than 30min, installed the battery and
adjusted the oil level in preparation for cranking the engine.

Happy with the leak check so vacuum filled the Honda Type 2 coolant.


Hand cranked the engine several times and then
short burst of starter cranking without fuel or spark like
ten times and ready to fire up the engine.









Started the engine, visual inspection from top and bottom,
disabled the TCS, blipped the TH several times to push out
any remaining bubbles inside the cooling system,
went through all gears from 1st to 6th including reverse,
several extra procedures, etc and happy with the result.

Engine was very smooth and rhythmical sound.

Will carry out the compression check tomorrow.







As I removed the front header and also being as LEV - OBD2 spec,
I must carry out full test driving session in order to
confirm the O2 sensor feedback during cruising mode.







In the meantime, applied silicone grease on the new rubber seals at
the IG coil covers.

Will wipe off the excess after leaving them overnight.


More to follow later.
