Why don't you pull off the cap and take a look?

The rotor screw might be losE. Have your girl make you something to drink n chill with you while you check it out. Should take like 15 mins n you kill two birds with one stone.

I met her before and watched them wrestle - She is in blue and he is in red, now you see why he can't work on his car.

the bearing went in my dizzy about 3 months ago. just take the dizzy off and grab the little thing that goes into the cam and turn it if its all loose and broken feeling it probably is. i found an after market new one for 185$

oh yeah and every time the car would heat up or i went reved about like 4k it would shut the car off becuase the rotor was hitting and missing the posts in the cap the bearing was so bad.
