Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer

New spring loaded bolts and nuts at both CATs.

At the front CAT, I didn't like the idea of compressing the spring too far but in order to reach the specified torque, there was no option so may need to replace the swivel gasket.




Carefully routed the rear primary O2 sensor cable as you don't want it getting melted and creating short circuit resulting in expensive ECU damage.




CL hose connected to the CL slave cyl.




Pretty much done on this side.

The final piece of the puzzle.
It is very important to follow the specific sequence of tightening the four mounts and the sub frame bolts. If you have studied the sub frame bolt hole design, you will know the reason why. Honda engineers used cleaver design that it will always go back to its original position on re-assembly if you followed the specific sequences and so accurate that you don't need to carry out another alignment service just because you removed the sub frame bolts.




For some reason, most of the face lifted model uses strange alignment of the head light unit. You will notice that part of the front edge is almost hitting the bumper section and sometimes, the unit is covering the upper side of the radiator mounting bracket bolt.




Leaky OEM radiator removed. Gave the area good cleaning.
