My distributor O-ring is leaking. How hard would this be to replace and wanting to upgrade my old one to something better, What would be the best for a budget. My car is a 93 LX accord SOHC F22A1 engine.

 

Its pretty easy to replace. Just pick one up from the dealership, because there is no real upgrade to that part.

 

Is the oil inside the dist. or around the outside of the dist?

 

I read your post and totally agree with you.Its nice sharing.web sites are source of information and this is one of them I book mark it and mail all of my friends to must check it.

 

from what i can tell looking at it with a flash light, there seems to be some but i can not tell for sure.

 

If you don't have a timing light, you need to mark where the dist lines up with the engine so the timing is close when you put it back on. Also, when you pull the dist off, notice where the part that mates with the cam shaft is located and put it back in that location. (This was on my '94 Accord, I hope it's the same...)

My bad O-ring showed up as oil leaking around the O-ring and down the engine block.

 

I will do that, see if i cant take a pic of it to. thanks for thr help guys.

 

I had the same O ring leak on a 2001 cyl Accord a couple months ago, easy fix, no more leak.
