Yay, glad you are back Shawn, sorry to here about the bull shit, customers put you through. Looking forward to seeing what you are up to.

I also would like one. Finally just started routine maintenance. Realized I have an affinity for EXOTIC, specialty NSX tools.

OK, its done. Went for a quick test drive, everything feels good, and no leaks. I made a couple of rookie mistakes. Instructions say un-bolt sway bar in order to reach that difficult, upper, rear, timing belt cover bolt. So I climbed under and removed two bolts that hold that U-shaped sway bar...

Timing belt is on. A lot of reassembly to do now, and valve adjustment. Should have it in a week or two. If my body can handle the contortions.:eek:

Yes, Kaz has given us pages of photos and info huh. Best photo I saw was on page 55, also close-ups on 29. and more, on, 20,27, and 35.

Kaz, thank you for filling me in on details, also that link is sweet, I was able to see the timing marks on the front of the cams then locate them on my engine. I was only looking at the back before. Now I realize what you mean about paint marks only lining up once, I may have been confused with...

Larry, thank-you, for detailed instructions. I will follow them to a T. I like the part about double checking. Getting excited about putting it together. I just dabbed different color auto paint on 4 cams and crank. Cant wait to see all 3 colors of paint line back up again, after I transfer it...

Oh, great, I spent a lot of time poking around last night, just finally gave up with very limited info. I will go to the WIKI and get service manual. Thanks Larry

Having a heck of a time finding the torque specifications. I see the valves are 14 ft. lbs. I can do most bolts by feel, but there are pretty important ones like the harmonic balancer bolt. Any one know where I can find some specifications?

The crankshaft pulley bolt came out without a hitch. We used the Milwaukee battery powered impact and the super heavy duty Lisle thickwall impact socket. Did not hold the crankshaft, it budged about 3/8 of an inch, (backwards). I just turned it back to exactly TDC, using the holding tool, in the...

I think the crankshaft pulley bolt will be removed tomorrow. My neighbor has a Milwaukee electric impact wrench. So my plan was, hold the crank with the holding tool, then, I bought one of those massive 19mm sockets that are supposed to hammer it off real nice. But the socket is so massive, it...

Hi all, been a while since being on the forum. NSX has been fantastic, I have only changed plugs and oil and coolant. Right now I have it disassembled so I can change timing belt/water pump. Been at it part/time for about a week. No hurry, reading up.Really, really appreciate every one who has...

With my cars it has always been the alternator belt. Just tighten it up a little, or remove it and try a cold start to see if it goes away.

Yeah, it looks cool. what matters is, if you like it. I almost always go for 100% stock, but if I see a mod I like, Hay! its all about me.:smile:

I dont think it is a cheesy light. It lights up the pavement so you can see what you are stepping in before you get in your car, or stepping on as you get out. Plus not visible in the daytime when you dont need it. Good idea!
