      The distributor pictured in the original post is a TEC, those are the most commonly used for Hondas. They'll be stamped TD-XXU (TD-52U for example). Here's an example of a Hitachi distributor from an F22B1: http://www.buyautoparts.com/autopart...stributor.html
      My 95 Odyssey distributor looks exactly like the one in the link minus the electrical connector. The Hitachi units, any of them, look different from the TEC ones.

      Since the Hitachi internal seal is diff. from the TEC, here's what I used on my Odyssey's distributor:http://www.bestpartsonline.com/servl...omotive/Detail

          I didnt even know this 2nd DIY existed... I took 32 pictures to make this DIY but Now I dont have to.

          NOK inner seal

          you can buy them on ebay or on amazon <<< link




          here are some pictures








          tools I used




          leaking seal




          DO NOT use a screw driver to loosen the screws. Use a ratchet with a 1/4 socket and a screw bit to loosen. This will prevent a stripping the screw.











          all cleaned up





          New NOK seal in with some ultra gray sealant for extra measure






          Pretty easy to do just do it when the engine is cooled down so the distributor is not hot.

            Great write up! These things can leak pretty bad and mess up the passengers side of the engine / transmission / hoses

              Distributor seal

              I did this twice and i was not lucky to have mine come off that easily, i had to break the seal into pieces both times as it was so old that it had hardened stuck to the distributor base. A lot cheaper than replacing whole distributor, i now keep spare seals in the garage. I think only F series have this problem
