I got this apex head set AHS1008 gasket kit from gasketpro.com. iT says it's for 86-89 accords (all). I am a little confused as to what is what, I mean nothing is labled. I know the obvious head gasket, valve cover gasket, intake, and exhaust gaskets, but What does the main distributor gasket look like ? I can get pics of all the gaskets in the kit if needed, but I was hopinng someone would have a pic, or could give me a general discription of the distributor gasket. Also, If I pull the distributor to replace the gasket, Will it screw up the timing ?

Anyone ? I don't want to pull the dizzy and end up not having the right gasket.

The distributors use an o-ring to seal out the oil where they are mounted to the head. If you intend to replace this seal, its a pretty large-diameter o-ring. If your kit doesn't include it, it can be sourced from a dealer or matched up by most autopart stores. Also, before messing with the distributor, get a sharpie or some whiteout and draw a line across the mounting points on the distributor. This way you can realign it the way it was before when you finish. Hope this helps.

I am just going to leave it alone for now, I thought I had an oil leak there, But I don't. It was just left over oil from when the valve cover was leaking.
Thanks anyway !
