Have a leak in my distributor, and I believe it's coming from the inner seal (not the o-ring). I'm thinking of just replacing the whole distributor ar this point. Was just wondering if there's a major difference between getting a distributor from Rock Auto vs an OEM distributor (quality wise). I've even seen them pretty cheap on other sites. Basically just asking if I should only stick to OEM when it comes to distributors, or if anyone has experience with specific brands.

 

ALL aftermarket distributors suck... doesn't matter where you get them. If the OEM distributor is still available from your local Genuine Honda Parts Department... the price is going to hurt, but this is the absolute best choice. It will way outlast one from Rock Auto or your local auto parts store.

 

Just take it apart and replace the seal
have a sharpie so you can mark any adjustment points.
Did mine, easy.

 

Well, I took a stab at taking it apart today. A couple of the screws inside my distributor are stripped. I was able to get one of them, but I'm left with one that is completely stripped, so I can't open my distributor to get the shaft out. I can try to get this stripped screw out with one of those methods such as using JB weld with a screw driver or something. But if I do that, I'll need a new screw. Does anyone happen to know what the screw sizes are inside these distributors?
