Water leakage occurred!

The toilet tank seems to be leaking.
It is an apartment over 20 years old, so it can't be helped.
We have contacted the landlord and it will take a while.
So, since the symptoms of water leakage are getting worse, we will take it apart and check the current status.

The cause was simple: a piece of resin was trapped in the piston valve.

Water-1
Water-2

Once the resin pieces were removed, the leak stopped.
I've replaced the pistons and O-rings, so the repair is almost complete.
Since it means replacing the entire set of items inside, let the contractor do the rest.

Water-3

This will finally eliminate the water noise and make it less bothersome. See you soon...

Running-in 500Km

We did a break-in run up to 500Km.
It can only turn up to 4000 rpm or less, so it can only go about 100 km/h in 6th gear.
I couldn't drive on the highway, so I wondered what was going on.
The highway between Hinaku and Tsunagi in the direction of Ashikita has not yet been opened and is now a free section.
Light trucks, large trucks, etc. are also running, so the RPMs are just right.
The distance of the section is about 30 km, so we made several round trips over two days to gain distance.

There are places along the way where you can see the ocean, so it is a good place to relax and flow.

Near Tanoura

We took a break at a Family Mart near the I.C. on the Tsunagi side.

I wonder if this highway is selling a way station.

At the end of the Hinaku IC, there is a park with a view of the sea, where we took a break.

We have reached our target distance and are heading home.

Finally, after 500Km of driving, I can turn it up to 6000rpm,
This eliminated the problem in normal use and greatly reduced stress.
I will run for 1000Km next time. See you soon....

Engine overhaul!

I was in bad shape because the road I was running on was unusable after the Kumamoto earthquake in 2016.
The car was overhauled for inspection.

OH-1 OH-2
The valve guide lip was worn, causing the oil to drop.
I was prepared for this, but I am shocked.
I ordered the valve guide in June while it was out of stock due to a series of other bad things.
Delivery was in October.

A report after the overhaul will follow in due course. See you soon...
