Lol. Stock brakes usually last me a long time. Had over 150,000 on my old 2000 Integra Type R. Had 65,000 miles on 2013 and still had half the stock pad left.

I'm hoping that isn't the case with my 2017. Look at the sealant that oozed next to the oil filter with lots more around the whole cover.

Ha! I wanted to see if the cracks were just water stains. The engine was still hot so I didn't want to touch it with my fingers.

No leaks, so I should be good. :cheers:

Yes, I'm serious. Rod knock from bearing failure is usually from oil starvation.
The Jackson Racing Supercharger would not explain why I would get rod knock.
