Title: Replacing dist. head o-ring
Post by: DieselsRcool on May 16, 2004, 11:43:44 am
I have a pump on the 1.6D in my Samurai that is leaking a drip every 2 seconds. it seems to be coming from between the distributor head and the pump body. Seems I read somewhere about changing this without pulling the distributor head all the way off. I'm thinking one could back out the bolts enough to get to the o-ring. Then remove one bolt at a time, pull the o-ring  over that bolt and put the new one under it at the same time. Does this sound doable?

Question:
Is this a standard o-ring? If not, does anyone know where I can get a new one?
