Hello All,
I apologize for not being as avid as a user as I had expected to be when I first got my 95 ST. Lack of money and being a pretty diligent college student my time for my Celi has been limited. On top of the major set back of the semester: getting my first three tickets ever, in one sitting, one stop sign away from my housing by an undercover DB total $342 (rant can be posted if you guys would like to hear about it...lol) =/ But I've been working really hard and have a little bit of money to take care of quick and easy issues and mods for now. But on to my actual issue. I've been having a bit of an oil leak problem. Thankfully a have a master mechanic of a neighbor that helped me narrow it down to it being my distributor. He is so savvy that he told me to find a specific seal that I cannot quite find online. I'm pretty sure it is the "inner shaft seal" for the distributor that I've read a little about already. I will also be getting the standard O Ring for the distributor which should be easy to find, order, and replace from what I've read. I would really appreciate any heads up on this inner seal matter and if anyone knows where I might be able to find it? -Otto |

That is called the "rotor." It should simply pull off with a little effort.

I think the rotor has two small phillips head screws I would look at it closely. I remember I was carefull not to strip them as they are delicate and you will never get the rotor off if it is stripped. Also I dont remember needing to do any rebuild on my distributor or even take anything apart. After the spark plug cables are out of the way if you mark then remove the timing adjustment screw, the whole thing pull out and expose the inner o ring that keeps the oil in engine. I hope I am remembering correctly here. |
