So, with the valve cover gaskets replaced, one coil pack replaced, and a little cleaning yet-to-do, I will hopefully have banished the last of the oil dribbling, smoking, and misfiring that have been nagging the NSX. 

I also had the car re-shod with Sumitomo HTRZ rubber; replacing 8-year-old and pretty well shot Dunlops.  I have run Sumitomos on the MR2 on the street and tracked them as well on that car and I was impressed with the abuse they put up with.  I can already tella marked difference on the NSX, those Dunlops must have really been rocks by this point.

Next on my list, I plan to tackle some of the electrical gremlins with the dash lights, climate control switch-gear, and more recently, the door locks.  This would be easier if it would quit farking raining.

On the side of good news, I was able to finally get solid confirmation that the timing belt job was done recently enough that I won't have to fool with it for a good while.
