Im a real newbie when it comes to mechanics, so dont laugh too hard (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) - I want to replace the distributor "o" ring. How do I pull the distrubutor out to replace the ring? If I take it out, will the timing be off when I reinstall it? Hey I said no laughing
Thanks |

The reason I want to replace it is I have a small oil leak somewhere inbetween the oilcooler seals and the top of the motor. The oil cooler seals i did last summer and they are fine. The oil sender is fine, as is the oil filler seal - all which were replaced. The pushrod tube seals seem fine too. So I cant figure out where the leak is originating from so I figure maybe replace this seal to rule out one less thing.
any other ideas where it could be comming from??? I do have the haynes book and 1 other. thanks |
