never had this happen before, but im getting some oil inside my distributor. its coming out from the bottom where the cap meets the distributor and dripping on to top of my tranny. i know about the oring that goes into the head, but is there another seal i can replace? is it shot?

 

replace your distributor shaft seal; check the shaft for play since its most likely going bad

 

i got my hands on another dist. from a friend today. throw it in tomorrow and go from there...


i also just got off the dyno with this motor and it didnt make crap for power considering the setup and its good compression numbers

 

make sure you change the seal

 

ok, i have went through quite a few distributors, oil leaking from inside the distributor is the result of a bad seal inside the distributor that they do not make a replacement for, i have searched. The solution is a new distributor, and usually when this seal goes bad your distributor bearings are gone out too, resulting in a lack of power, and usually my tach would be all over the place. Get a new distributor.

 

ok got a new distributor, cap, rotor, plugs and wires. car feels more responsive but i doubt it gained the 30 something hp to where the setup should be. i also went from bkr7e to 6e's

 

why would you go from 7's to 6's?

i remember when i had oil in my distributor. the dealership didnt offer just that one seal. i had to buy a new distributor.

TADA! took like 2 min to look up search.com

 

Not to hijack, but thanks. I order a couple sets for spares.

 

man I cant believe you found these. I was looking everywhere for these things

 

all you have to do is read the #/measure the seal and find it... you can do the same as far as the shaft bearing
