Default USDM Distributor Cap vs. JDM Cap Troubles. Differences?

Yaaaa ...

I started doing some routine matinence and wanted to replace the distributor cap and rotor. The distributor cap I got from my local Acura dealership is not the same as the B18C JDM OEM one on the motor.

1. Is there a difference between the UDSM cap and JDM cap? If so where can I get a JDM cap?

2. How the heck do you get the rotor off? There is some sort of plastic gaurd in the way.


Thanks ahead of time,

Matt

As far as I know it shouldn't be different...

Here's how to change the cap and rotor... There is a screw in the rotor you need to remove.

ive been trying to figure out which cap i need for my jdm itr. i went to the dealer and orderd an itr cap but didnt fit. i spoke with sly over at distributor king and he says there are 3 different versions of the itr cap. the distributor i have is marked td-81U ive confirmed with distributor king that it is a type r distributor and the dealer cap does not fit.

so i believe they are differences. anyone know which cap is for the TD-81U?
thanks in advance
