when i reassembled everything i didn’t notice that it was touching. I noticed it as i pulled out of my garage due to a loud noise and seeing the mark on the rotor itself. I have taken it apart and put it back together a few times with no luck. I swapped the brackets and got the same result so i ruled a bad bracket out. I believe it has to be a bad out of the box wheel bearing or the hub itself is bad. any other input?

The bracket itself is making contact to the rotor even without the caliper installed so that is not the problem

That would be the next step if nobody is able to help me out. It is not my vehicle. I have a manual for each of my vehicles. I’m just asking what needs to be removed for the pan to come off.

Before i start pulling stiff apart I’m going to continue to monitor it since i changed the oil pan gasket. I will periodically just jack it up and take a look. How common are oil pan gasket leaks on these cars? I checked it after i drove about 30 miles and didn’t see anything fortunately. I’m hoping what i saw on that bracket was just from oil pan gasket before i changed it. Can you reuse a Honda valve cover gasket?

I looked under the distributor and see no sign of leakage. The rear main was replaced about three years ago when the clutch was done . I finished replacing the oil pan gasket and there is still oil leaking by that bracket that connects the tranny and the oil pan. The leak is Very slow and doesn’t even produce a drip. The oil pan gasket i can tell is not leaking. If i had the flywheel cover off would i be able to tell if the rear main is leaking? Any other tips?

It really only goes on each side of the Pan where it goes down. If you google civic helms you should be able to find the manual in pdf format for free. The other important thing is torquing the nuts and bolts in the correct order and to the correct torque spec to ensure a good no leak seal. if I’m wrong let me know Eric since I’m sure you have done a lot of these.

Thanks Eric. I replaced the oil pan gasket with an oem one from the honda dealership and also used hondabond in the shaded areas according to the factory service manual. I unfortunately wasn’t able to put the exhaust back together yet due to bolts breaking and needing new studs for the exhaust manifold. At least the hondabond will have some time to cure fully though. The parts will be coming in the next few days so i can finish it up and add oil and check for leaks. Thanks again i will keep you updated.
