[@kangokidkidd4037]

Hi Sir I too wonder what is that switch right under the distributor with the wire called please

[@MrLeroyJacob]

3:15 SPILLAGE! Just replaced my O-Ring guided by this video. Easy job. Took me less than 30mins. My old ring was flat and brittle. Gonna give it a couple days to dry up and see if it still leaks. I'm highly optimistic. Thank you for this. It's 6 years in the future and the O-Ring cost me $6... Inflation!

[@Victor_Stones]

Update?

[@MrLeroyJacob]

@@Victor_Stones It worked!!! I still had another minor leak from around the timing belt area, but this fixed the leak on the passenger side. I also changed the VTech solenoid gaskets.

[@Victor_Stones]

@@MrLeroyJacob bet this is my next change

[@justaguy6100]

Thanks for the video, man. It's always appreciated to see how repairs have been done on these older cars. Just trying to keep it running. ya know.

[@apollo11capcom39]

Im getting ready to do this on my 2000 accord, great video. Mines been on there for 356k miles so I don't think mine owes me anything more either.

[@1peanut]

There is also a seal inside the distributor on the shaft. That one usually leaks.

[@Ottonic6]

No, if oil leaked through and out the cap you don't have to replace the whole distributor. There is a seal on the inside that can be replaced to keep oil from getting into it. Yes it is more work, but it is an easy r & r...

[@Buckwsr]

Great info. Thank you.

[@marinososacabrera516]

Good video

[@Revvyfire]

hmm, you are the first to point out it can leak from inside the cap or it could be the outside O ring. This helps a lot so now I can narrow down my issue thank you again

[@Buckwsr]

Glad to help! Good luck!

[@xart23x]

Have same problem. It was tough removing screws with cap on because tight space on my 97 Accord. But, thanks to your video I'll remove cap first. You made it look easy, thanks.

[@Buckwsr]

Good job. Thanks for the note and for watching the video.

[@jpaurelio4842]

Having the same problem, shop told me distributor cannot be fix and need to change the whole kit for $900! SMH, this will save me a lot of mo ey! Many thanks!

[@Buckwsr]

Wow. That's a lot of money. Hope you get if fixed yourself!

[@bills9288]

Great detailed video. I’m going to try this on mine. Thank you

[@abradford60]

Thank you for the video I believe you did an awesome job the only thing that I did different was to use a sharpie to mark the distributor for realignment just to make sure ( Bottom line you saved me $100.00 in labor cost )

[@Buckwsr]

The sharpie is a great idea. I simply installed the distributor back in the exact same spot, as the marks from the bolt made it obvious. Glad you got the job done!

[@chrisfo8428]

How come distributor only gots 2 bolt's into cylinder head but there's a 3rd bolt hole on top of the triangle looking bolt diagram with no bolt in it .. does it mean I got the wrong dizzy for my engine? Help please

[@christianparkour8880]

Do you know how to adjust a governor on a push mower

[@albertalvarez5901]

I already replaced the gaskets on the Vtec module and that didn't stop the oil leak, so now I'm gonna try this, did this fix your oil leak, cause it looks like your car has all the oil marks in the same spot mine has them, will appreciate if you can reply back if this O-ring fixed your oil leak, thanks

[@Buckwsr]

It was not my car, but a friend's. She continued to drive the car for quite some time, and she never mentioned on-going oil leaks. Since it's an easy fix and an inexpensive part, you might as well give it a try.

[@albertalvarez5901]

@@Buckwsr Appreciate the reply, I will do this on Saturday, thanks it's very easy an inexpensive so it doesn't hurt to try it.

[@Sparksxz20]

@@albertalvarez5901 did it work for you as well?

[@albertalvarez5901]

@@Sparksxz20 It did fix that side of the leak and now that side is clean of oil, but now I found another one on the other side by the belts, water pump area that looks a little harder but I think I could do it with plenty of time.

[@Sparksxz20]

@@albertalvarez5901 thanks for the reply. I just bought a 2000 Honda Accord and I see a lot of oil and gunk. I’m thinking it might be the Valve Cover gaskets though because it’s on all for sides.

[@thatguyfromca]

so you didn't have to worry about the alignment of the distributor when you pulled it out? I read something that said you had to be careful to line it up the same way when putting it back on

[@Buckwsr]

I simply put the distributor back in the exact same spot, as the marks from the bolt made it obvious where it had been.

[@thatguyfromca]

@@Buckwsr Ok, mine needs to be changed. I guess I can mark it just to be sure. Thanks.

[@seraphandseraphin7082]

Good video, easy fix. Thanks

[@ngom2746]

[@stevenquick7516]

I got the f23a1 I think you thinking of the throttle body bypass Brodie give it a search

[@rafaelakayuco9042]

There's another o ring inside but I couldn't remove a dam pin to remove the shaft.

[@appelsinnadurai]

Thank you.

[@Ottonic6]

I see you fixed the air intake hose... lol

[@Buckwsr]

Dano C. Ha ha. Yes, a little blue painter's tape works wonders. I had ordered a new intake pipe on eBay...waiting for it to arrive.

[@tyreejermaine1676]

Still driving it? And thanks for the video!

[@Buckwsr]

Belongs to a friend I haven't seen in a long while. She was going to let her son drive it...so last I knew, it was still on the road!

[@sagechris4742]

Don't forget to atleast unhook the ground battery cable kids if you're going to be taking things apart

[@philb4786]

Always clean it before you put the new O-ring on.

[@julionazario9143]

i was looking for this comment lol

[@livefast7350]

I’m saying

[@NURsMec]

What were the symptoms why did you changes the seal? Is it because of oil leak? What about misfire?

[@lucastheproducer995]

How long did you wait to change timing belt

[@Buckwsr]

This is a friend's car. I never did a timing belt on it.

[@sacto87]

Do you need to check for ignition timing afterward ? The distributor had been moved and rotated .

[@Buckwsr]

Observe which way the rotor is pointing when you take the distributor cap off. Put it back together the same way. You really can't screw it up.

[@sacto87]

Thanks .

[@Jokester_79]

Not trying to be critical, but there are two other seals that should of been changed. If you go into equipment (older vehicle parts). Might as well change the other seals. Proper maintenance....

[@Buckwsr]

Thank you. Wait...maybe you're just joking.....

[@MrCelias15]

Did it fix the leak ?!!

[@Buckwsr]

oh, yes, absolutely.

[@Kvaughn10]

Mine won’t start now 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@stevenquick7516]

What you do?

[@muffincakehat6296]

Was it the timing?

[@Kvaughn10]

I think I moved the thing inside the motor a little

[@pepe129]

Its the same for 98 v6? thanks

[@Buckwsr]

I'm not sure, but probably the same....

[@stripecatflippangitnamecha8721]

Bro ur bald spot is on the way 🤣🤣🤣

[@doctorjohn-burgtekie]

You should have gone ahead and replaced the shaft seal while you had the distributor off. Price for both would have run you $7.50 leaves more time with the kids.

[@Buckwsr]

Doctor John Good tip. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@johnm.teague8125]

I'm at 438K and yeah it's time to lay this seal (and a few others) to rest. 🤣

[@craphittingthefan2360]

This repair will not fix oil inside the distributor you will have to pull the shaft out and replace the shaft seal.

[@clairedeiotte8898]

Like the birds !

[@davidmcfarlin9132]

Thanks doing tomorrow. @

[@murphytoadster9864]

Killing me that you dont use a dental pick.

[@Buckwsr]

Because my teeth are fine; just returned from the dentist.

[@masterblaster1676]

Im retarded and rotated the distributor shaft and put my engine out of time

[@bryanzorrilla8604]

Damn how did you fix it?

[@josephpierre8685]

thanks a lot, to learn me?
