🚨 Honda Integra DC5 Type R 🚨
We recently had Harry Clark’s DC5 Type R back into the workshop for a series of maintenance and preventative jobs identified during its previous visit, where we carried out engine mount replacements.
During inspection, we found a significant amount of oil residue around the upper timing cover and rear of the engine. The rocker cover gasket was showing signs of seepage, so as a preventative measure we replaced both the rocker cover gasket and the VTEC solenoid gasket to ensure long-term reliability and eliminate potential future leaks.
Further checks identified minor oil leak from the driveshaft seals, which were replaced using genuine Honda parts to maintain OEM quality and fitment.
The front lower arm bushes were also beginning to deteriorate and showed excessive signs of perishing when the vehicle was lifted and the bushes under tension. To improve both handling and durability, we installed a set of SuperPro Suspension caster-increase bushes. While the lower arms were removed, they were thoroughly cleaned and refurbished, leaving them looking better than new.
To finish the job, we replaced the wheel bolts with genuine Honda ones. The vehicle had previously been fitted with poor quality aftermarket bolts with Allen key caps and an ineffective locking design, with several showing thread wear. The genuine replacements provide the correct fitment, improved durability, and greater peace of mind.
Another DC5 brought back up to the standard it deserves, with a focus on reliability, drivability, and attention to detail. 👌
