well, i had read a write up somewhere on how to do this.. so it seemed pretty simple and i thought i'd make my own to share with all of you.. it took about 15-20 and thats with taking pictures along the way. .
first, get a straight edge to mark the stock timing ( i used a wire stripper that was sitting near by) but any straight edge will do.. like so
now get a nail or a screw and make a mark across the top so you can line it up.. and it also marks where the stock timing should be.. for those who wanna adjust timing..
i was told to loosen the bolt nearest the firewall first.. using a 12mm box wrench
then move to the one nearest the front of the car, i had to use a rachet here w/ a long extension.. again 12mm
then remove the top one, being careful not to turn the distributor,
now once you have those removed, slowly pull the distributor off being careful not to turn it.. unless you want a headache.. it should look like this now
using a flathead screwdriver pry off the old o-ring, mine just broke when i did this ( that saying it needed to be replaced...
now get your new o-ring and take it out of the package, yes this one.. its about $2 from Honda.. part # 30110 PA1 732
i got a bit of oil on the tip of my finger and lubed up the o-ring so i slide in place
reverse steps for putting the distributor back on, again being careful not to turn anything..
now let fire it up and see if it idles fine.. WOO HOO!!..
feel free to move this to General Tech Articles if you feel it is suffice
