Consumer Description

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
