Been dealing with a leak from the distributor mounting gasket (oring) off and on for a decade. The head has been redone with sealant around the cap - so I'm confident it's not leaking there. No oil in the distributor cap, so it's not the internal distributor seal. Currently using an oring from a rebuild kit, but I have tried one from the oem Prior to the head redo. Figured it's time to find a more permanent solution.
Options
1) maybe it just failed in the Texas heat, and a new oem will work
2) anyone have the oem spec for the oring (ID, OD, cross section, material). Maybe a slightly larger one will work.
3) double up in some way? If I remember, (I can't find it now), there was a discussion elsewhere about adding a second, much thinner cross section, somewhere additionally.
