3. Cleaned the ICV and cured hunting Idle.
4. Front end noises.
5. Coolant bleeding

Sweet, at 100K that M20 is halfway to being broken in!

Congrates...... As of about 2 months ago I don't own a single rig under 100k miles... Prop both be over 150k miles by this time next year...

Man, that's like a brand new car compared to mine. Last night I crossed over the 175,000 MILES = 280,000 km.

I sprayed the hell out of mine with carb cleaner. Pretty good result, idle is still a little bouncy every now and then though.

Thx for the replies DIY Engineers. Initially I used to have a Rough/hunting Idle on cold startups, swapped out the ICV with a used one. Hunting Idle lessened, then occasionary Idle revved high about 1200 in Neutal. So I decided to peep in the ICV Poor thing was all coated black inside, and would hardly move. I half soaked it in WD40 took 30 mins to get it look shinny again, I used dust blaster to blow out the dirt, I reconnect it and boy oh boy......ICV is like new now rev in neutral is now about 800 when I engage drive in drops to 500 which I believe is very close to normal.

thx.

At 100kkm,it's barely broken in.I've clocked 450kkm.Changed the engine with a used one at 350k coz of cylinder head issues.Still runs like a champ with a reachable top end of 220km/h with the rev at 6.5k (cut out rev).Enjoy...
