Looks like my barring is going out on the distributor, drove other car to work today cause i dont wanna **** up my cams, anyhow, anyone have any lucky with replacing the barring, i dont really wanna buy another distrbutor...

 

Go here, your distributor should be similar: http://www.redline-performance.net/A...%20BEARING.htm

 

Thanks article helped allot, basicly the same as mine... I should have it fixed tonight...

 

How would you know if the distributor bearing is going?

 

you can hear it..

 

What do you mean by you can hear it?? What kind of sound does it make?? like a weezing sound?

 

sounds like your valves are tapping but its not your valves

 

so how difficult was it to fix your distributor problem? on a scale of 1 to 10..1 being easy..??

 

well, I havent actually gotten around to it, cant untill friday, my day off, right now im driving my g/f's car back and forth, and im having a friend check some junk yard for a few parts i need, but if i have to replace the bearing allone it look like the only involved part is going to be getting the bearing on to the dist rod... sounds like im going to need a machine shop to do that.

 

its a good old b16a3, I priced the distributor "a rebuilt one" at that for 180 including the core charge,... ouch...

and that was the smallest price quote

 

My bearing is screwed. I am going to be changing mine tomorrow so I'll let you know how hard it is!!

 

does this apply to the newer models also? 99 integra

 

ya what about newer cars?? i have a 96 civic....i can hear a clicking/tapping noise under the hood, but those turds at honda just said that it was my injectors..but they're pretty retarded..so i duno?? any help?

 

well, man your injectors shouldnt make any noise, so im not sure what they are talking about...

looks like the solution was to replace the dist rod and internal pieces, the old distributor was so screwed that the rod was bent some, and the plastic cover was scratched to hell. ouch...

 

damn, how much did that cost you? was it easy to swap in the new pieces?
