    make sure your putting some lub on the o-ring before you install it, they will tear easy...

    and thats how you solve the problem with repeat fails, take the part your putting it on, and/or the old part that worked at one time.

    u sure it's from the distributor? theres a few spots there that it could be either one. that is leaking from.. check like the vtec solinoid, cam seal, & dizzy. put some high temp silicone on .. works out fine with mines

    Hopefully there is no scarring around that area that will cut the o-ring up.
