O ring seal on the distributer?

Post by jamesmx3 »

Does anybody have a part number or a size for the O ring seal on the distributor? I've got an oil leak :(
thanks

Use the grey permatex oil resistant gasket maker around the disty for no leaks.

It also comes in dont have to wait for the dealership and only 6 or 7 bucks at the auto part store.

Go to car quest and have them check their Japanese parts listings and not the US', that's what they had to do for me and it worked perfectly for $8.

Good luck.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Get it directly from the dealership. I have had 3 aftermarket o rings and they have all failed sealing. :(
