Nice pix. How hot was your usual intake temp?

Also, did you use any carbon cleaner during the life of the engine (not sure if you have the "Seafoam" brand solvent in Ireland, or something similar)?

Also did you have a PCV catch can in place?

The equivalent of 180K miles is high, but Hondas tend to last a bit longer. It also could be the amount of urban vs. rural mileage.

I haven't been around for a while -- what happened to the car?
