Internal Distributor Oil Leak - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Found a good part source for oil leaks from the distributor shaft seal which results in oil inside the distributor. http://www.applied.com/ pn 10X20X7TC for around $6.00 per seal. It is a 10mm shaft dia/20mm outside dia/7mm deep/tc douple lip seal. The stock seal is 5mm deep but the 7mm unit goes in and works just fine.

Just wandering, how were you able to knock out the distributor shaft to drive fork pin?

Doctor J, I used a punch and hammer. I carefully blocked the distributor body up so just the drive dog set on the slightly open jaws of a vice. Be sure to mark the relationship between the drive dog and the shaft before you knock the pin out. Disasssembly of the distributor inards is pretty straight forward. Just be sure to observe the gaps between the pickups and the dist shaft triggers. I set mine at about .005" and it has worked on both of the distributors I have done this to.
