I'm surprised more of the nuts didn't stick. I didn't even see penetrant on the table. Somebody has had that fuel regulator off before maybe. Also surprised the inserts didn't crumble coming out. A friendly caution: wear a dust mask when sanding that aluminum. The dust is toxic.

Still, removing those casting marks was a good idea... it will emphasize the curves better.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
