Dizzy Seals Question, Have a bit of an oil leak problem... Options

[tech_cruz787]

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?

Thank you everyone. I've been reading up on all of the rebuild guides I can find and were given. I at least got to take off the dizzy cap and there was a little bit of oil there. My neighbor and I degreased the top of my transmission which was holding all of the oil, gunk, and dirt. Looked pretty for a day, untill I drove it a couple of days and now it has fresh oil right back on the top.lol.

I see now that the seal picture I posted was just the cap gasket and is thankfully leaking it out and not holding too much oil inside the dizzy cap. I also now see that the inner shaft seals/rings are a bit of a project. I can only seam to find a rebuild kit from KBox. A lot of people in the rebuilds are using this Canadian Manufacturer.

Before I order the 7AFE dizzy rebuild kit I want to pull out the dizzy from the engine to see what exactly is going on in there. I already bought the external O-Ring at least and I also have a couple of generic internal rings/seals that might do the trick which were given to me. Then again I really might need that bearing that comes in the kit, since mine must look like hell I pressume.

I was having trouble taking out the rotating pin that is seen in as soon as the dizzy cap comes off. Is it just suppose to pop out? The write ups aren't clear on how to remove it. I'll keep watching some videos and reading nonetheless. It should be number 6 in the image below:


Thank you all...
