D16 Distributor Squeak
hi there....
yesterday i picked up a wierd sound coming from the engine bay, popped the hood and found that it was coming from inside the distributor (I think). ...almost sounds like while the rotor is spinning inside, the shaft is rubbing up against some other metal section. I haven't opened it up yet, but will do so later today. Ignition doesn't seem to be negatively affected - the car still hauls ***, just that goddamn squeak.
Thought maybe anybody has run into this problem before...its a 4th Gen, d16A7 - (non-vtec, SOHC)...as I've never had any need to work on distributors before....
kthnx!

thnx guys...is there no way of just replacing the bearing, (just having the dizzy reconditioned instead of having to buy a new one?) I haven't enquired as to cost, but I'm guessing it's nowhere near cheap for a new one.
