disributor o ring leak

Post by mzdamx3rsdohc »

hey everyone, well ive been installing a turbo on my car and hope to take it for a little cruise tomorrow or this weekend. on my last distributor when it went it was smking out of the disti and oil was in there. so i got a replacement disti and i think its still leaking... do i just get a new o ring for the disti or new rocker cover gasket to? and the two bolts that hold down the cap that the disti slides into, do they have to be torqued to a specific ft.lb ? if so what?

Your disty o-ring is likely old and hard. Get a new one from
a parts store or from rockauto.com they are under a buck.

Torque till tight.
