Chrome_GT Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Can someone please pull off their cap and see if there is much axial play is the rotor drive shaft? I'd expect a little bit but the 4mm I'm getting seems a bit excessive. Bosch distributor setup has a red dissy cap, the black one is a motorcraft setup. I think their is another setup too. Oh yeah, for an OHC 2000cc Pinto. I've been having problems with dissy caps wearing out after 3 months of everyday driving. The one on their now has unusual wear which suggests the rotor is moving up and down. The Capri is currently running on two cyls :{ Working on that right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrome_GT Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Well - I found the reason for running on two cyls: Compressions 180, 30, 30, 170. With a nice puff coming from 3 when testing 2 and vice versa. Guess I'll be replacing the Headgasket tonight Anyway still interested to see if anyone else with the same distributor has heaps of endfloat on the rotor drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismo.capri Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 4mm is way to much I'd say..... that's enough to make and break the points! Time for a replacement or rebuild..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
