my distributor is making a grinding/high pitch squeal so i replace the cap/rotor with oem honda, but still making the noise.

so i did a search on HT and my timinmg belt deflection is good 3/16inch.

so i pulled out my distributor and the past post say to spin it by hand which i did. how freely is it suppose to turn. it makes the squeal noise when i turn it by hand still. does that mean i need a new distributor?

thanks

bearing is about to go out in your distributor....happened to me awhile back replace it as soon as you can

 

what has happened is the bearings in the dist. have gone bad. you can try to put some oil on them to wet them back down but it probably wont help. so you either need a new dist, or if you can find em just the bearings for it. hope that helps

 

ok thanks.
im going to order a dist from dist king tomorrow! thanks need this thing for a tracking event friday!
