>Worst thing was the rear caliper sliding in the alloy carrier - I made brass bushes and oversize s/s pins to cure that
Check that, albeit front calipers on my various Hondas.
I can also confirm Honda still can't do sliding calipers - I bought a 2004 Accord estate just before I moved to Scotland in 2014 - sliding calipers on the rear. By the following winter, one jammed caliper made the disc so hot, clouds of steam when I chucked handfuls of snow on it. Owners' club forum recommended rear caliper strip-'n'-clean at every (6-Kmile) service,
but did stop the problem recurring. If home bodgers can work out the simple solution, makes you wonder why Honda still have this long-time blind spot about fixing the problem?
Otoh, the Accord's camchain 'n' tensioner were good as gold; iirc Honda even said no necessity to change the chain. Certainly I didn't have any problems with it 'til the worn-out clutch scrapped the car
at a bit over 200 Kmiles.
Regards,
