90 Accord spewing oil from the distributor
 

i have a 1990 Honda Accord and it is spewing oil from the distributor. it happend once already and i replaced the distributor and less then a week later its doing the same thing. i can turn the car on and see the oil spewing from the bottom of the distributor. i also changed the pcv valve since the old one was plugged. im just trying to see what i can do before spending more then the car is worth to fix it.

did you install a new o-ring at the base of the distr where it goes into the head??

yes i changed it twice, the guy at the local parts store said it might be a pressure problem caused from the rings. he also said that as i was trying to return the distributor, which he would not take back because he said the distributor dont fail. so im out 200.00 buks already.

chk the area around it,, chk for possible small cracks on the head, valve cover gasket ??
i have never seen oil really gush out from the distr ,, i have seen it leak but not like you are experiencing

got the correct distr + o-ring ??

yes, its the right one and the oil is spewing from the vent like the pressure has blown the seals.either that or i got two defective distributors.

Deserthonda, Is his PCV valve stuck closed/clogged and the pressure has found a different way out??
