NSX Under Valve Cover Pics

[heynow]

Time to do a valve adjustment on the NSX, decided to snap some pics.
First time I've had the valve covers off.
105,000 miles
Mobil 1 for most of it's life.
Redline 5w30 for the past 16,000 miles

Inside of valve covers are a little dirty but head and valvetrain look good.

Previous owner's receipts show oil changes every 5,000 miles or so.

I am impressed. That has to be one of the best motors I have ever seen...

Sexy motor. I have seen a number of high mileage Mercedes engines that clean inside, Mobil 1 or any good synthetic at 5k miles pretty much equals internals you can eat off of.

Spotless. One of my all-time favorite cars. Any pics of the entire car?

Engine looks very clean. Cannot ask for muck more than that.

Looks great.

Were the valve actually out of spec or fine? Just curious.

More proof that Hondas are not picky about oil. Nice ride.

One of the most fantastic sports cars of all time. I had a chance to drive one for a lap around Portland Int Raceway when they 1st came out - 1991 and then again in Virginia when my brother owned one. Only rated 290HP but felt much quicker and the sound at full throttle - OMG - sheer magic! Titanium connecting rods in a street engine - it would rev so quick. Nice job on the repair/rebuild - aluminum repairs can be a pain.

Looks awesome, both engine and car!
That is a pretty ambitious project but I am glad someone saved such an awesome car!!

Beautiful, just beautiful. Fun to drive and oh that sound!
