that damn o-ring... made me get oil in the dizzy too. I had to clean it out, and still need to finish cleaning it (couldn't get rotor set screw out... gonna have to use an easy out, and I ordered a new set screw from Honda)

1) It still doesn't start on the first try from time to time, but I have a feeling that it's a loose ignition switch (when it dies, err doesn't start, none of the dash lights come on unless I turn the key back a tiny bit).
2) I knew my distributor o-ring was leaking (have one on order), but I didn't know that oil could reach inside the distributor cap and get caked onto the terminals. Two were partially caked with oil, one was completely black. Once I get the o-ring installed I'll replace the cap/rotor/wires

2) A bad distributor cap seal might also allow oil to get inside the distributor, though this shouldn't be a problem when you replace the cap.
