Worked a bit on the AV6. I finally did my valve clearance and spark plugs. I'm pretty happy with how it looks inside, pretty clean, camshafts do not look worn. A bit of coal in the EGR lines. May be a good thing to clean it completely one day. And it would allow me to change the cam end cover seal too that I think is leaking a bit.




85 euros at the stealers for the intake gasket...
Anyway, I have cleaned my head covers with Cleanazur boat bilge cleaner, I have never seen any products more efficient on burnt oils. It looks like new :

Had a bad surprise with the distributor, the seal was dry and oil leaking. I have changed it with the o-ring seal. Had to order it in the us, it was not locally available...

And I am still waiting for the distributor cap gasket, ordered at Honda, still not arrived in a week, and the old one was dead because of the oil that leaked on it. I've put it back, hope I'll receive it soon.

Pretty happy now, I think that my engine is leakproof for now. I'm a bit of a maniac about that.
The car feels quieter and smoother, so far so good.
I also did the led dash cluster upgrade. I did it green for the 90's look. I like it. I think I'll just have to do something about the clock led, it's too powerful and at night it's hard for your eyes :



That's all, I think I'm almost done for now with maintenance, everything is working. Next step will be bodywork.
And on monday and tuesday I'll do a 1500km trip for a new job, in Italy as there is fewer speed traps I'll try to hit the top speed maybe. It depends on the trafic. And Fuel consumption, I want to reach at least Switzerland with one tank as the gas is pretty expensive in Italy.
