Description of the problem | When the distributor bearing failed the ignition rotor melted from the heat. From a few searches on this site, it appears to be a common honda family of engines problem. Some relief in the cost of the distributor would be a nice gesture. $336usd for the dist. Base is high. This is a d16z6 vtec engine. The failed bearing appears to be dry of any oil for lubrication, although the distributor/cam gear mating area is wet with eng. Oil as would be expected. Thanks, jim |
