are you sure you have the correct size O-ring? I bought an entire gasket kit off ebay from like taiwan or something and many of the gaskets were the wrong size. Even the HG blew after only 3k miles. But that was also because of incorrect installation of the Headbolts. But I would go to Honda and get the correct O-ring just to be sure. If not head to a junkyard and pick up a Distributor. Then go down to schucks or autozone and have them test it. They always do it for free.

there is a seal on the shaft in the distributor and when they start leaking oil into the inside we usualy replace the distributor
