MEET HANK // GARAGE ASSISTANT

A helper that gets it.

Hank is the resident D-series mentor at D15B Detail Hub. He knows the service manual cold — torque specs, build order, what fits what — and once you're logged in, he knows your build sheet too. Type to him or talk to him — he’s on every page that matters.

WHAT HANK KNOWS

Thirty years of D-series, one patient voice.

Tracks the build

Every checklist item you tick off, Hank saw it. Ask what's next and he walks you through it — in order, with the why.

Knows the D15B

Torque specs, tightening sequences, VTEC crossover, JDM variant quirks — the service manual, memorized and patient.

Talks & listens

Dictate with greasy hands. Hank answers in text, or reads it back aloud in his shop-teacher register.

Lives in your garage

Same Hank on the dashboard and in the rebuild journal — wherever the work happens.

ASK HIM LIKE THIS

Shop questions, plain language.

“Head bolt torque + sequence for a D15B?”“Will a D16Y8 manifold fit my D16Z6?”“What order should Phase 2 go in?”“Talk me out of a cheap eBay turbo.”

Signed in? He answers with your garage in mind — current phase, open items, stalled timers and all.

SELF-PROMOTION DEPARTMENT

Hank prints his own posters.

We asked him to stop. He laminated them.
