Can someone tell me what their d16a6 distributor rotor looks like.. I know a stupid question, but i dont want to get the wrong one.


My D16a6 has a complete circle rotor inside, compared to the Wing shaped rotor. Seems strange to me, because the picture at the honda dealer/manual has the winged shape, and mine is the complete circle ?.. I got this engine from a friend so i'm not sure he put the right one in .. anyway i'm replacing it on my 89, just found it strange that mine looked diferent. Unless the pictures are all general, and when i get hte part it will be the same? god i feel stupid..... anyway.... which one should i get and is there a difference.

this is what mine looks like now.




And this is what the one looks like that should? be for mine, and that is pictured for it.

 

oem VS aftermarket (napa) ??

 

look at the dizzy body; looks like totaly dirrewnt desings mabey a SI to a CRX or somthing like that

 

i know its kinda a stupid question... i just found it weird


I'm getting OEM.. from Honda

But the Above picture (rotor) is what mine looks like now....


And the bottom picture (rotor) is what i should have but i dont, i just found it weird.
(picture above is from an accord, just wanted to get the circular rotor picture)

The one i have now is completely circular, while the one that is pictured in the bottom OEM Honda has the wings. I'm just not sure why i would have the circular piece. Unless maybe the aftermarket branks are complete circles and the OEM part has the wings.

Duh.. i can take aparta n engine 5 times, but i cant figure this out.

In any case i was just curious so i dont get the wrong part.

 

ive had a napa and oreilly rotors both, they were both circular

 

current oem honda is circular, probably was updated at one time for balance or something

 

usually oem is the tec blade style, not circular.


the thing that matters most is if you use a hex screw instead of the damn phillips, so it wont fall off. lol

 

I bought an oem rotor for my b16a from honda and it was circular. All of the new oem rotors I have seen are circular. I believe honda changed the design at some point and discontinued the wing style rotors.
