Default Grinding/whining coming from distributor...

So I have an intermittent whining sound coming from inside of the distributor. It's a d16z6 and by intermittent I mean that it will whine for a few seconds then stop for a few seconds then whine again. There is no set pattern to the whining. I'm thinking that it may be bad distributor bearings but was wondering what else it could be. I took the cap and rotor off and they look fine to me.

Only the VX will bolt up (D15Z1), Z6 (92-95) and the D15B (JDM SOHC VTEC)
