Default Distributor bearing owned me!

Well, 2 years ago when the freak'n screw came loose from my rotor button, I knew it would be a matter of time....

Tonight I was leaving Batoutahell's place & OH THE NOISE! We checked the cap & rotor (even installed his old ones)...

Next it was time to say **** it & watch some expo vids

Before I left, we decided to yank the distributor off & sure enough when I attempted to spin it = IT SOUNDED LIKE A PEPPER GRINDER!!!

Oh well - anyone have an extra distributor lying around???

??Is the distributor the same (TEC) for LS/GSR/R??

B16A and B18C are the same. B18A/B is not but with slight modification will work
fine. I would recommend checking local parts shops, the ones around here
carry them in stock and prices are decent for a complete dist.

Steve - Thanks again!

I think next week, Jim & I are going to make a 30 second video of what a pepper grinder should really sound like when hooked to an 8000 rpm vehicle

Is there a rebuild kit for the distributor bearing, or is it best just to buy a new distributor?

Im not too familiar with this problem. Is this something that happens often with B series motors?

This is something Honda denied which have longevity problems all thru the 90's .
They recalled early 90's Integra and then gave up. My mechanics saw many preludes, accord and ............ gets towed into his shop of this many times.
