I just re-installed my distributor and it's wobbling or shaking quite a bit, the cam holder that bolts up with the distrbutor was pretty hot to the touch, anybody know whats up?

 

it's a d16a6 btw

 

.....it's starting to really **** me off

 

bump for help

 

bump

 

No bumping in tech forums. These are slower that GDD. Can you post a picture? What is the distributor model number?

 

It wobbles when bolted in? I'm kinda confused

 

Sounds like the end cap or the cam could be damaged if it's actually bolted down tight.

Are you sure you seated the dizzy correctly and it's not 180 degrees out?

 

yep, i put the distributor on right, i torqued all the cam caps to spec. i'm pretty sure it's end cap next to the distributor- going to check that right now

 

put it like this, it shakes mre than the motor does

 

If it's bolted tight to the head I don't understand how exactly it can do that either.... vid maybe? Pics at least?

 

i'll post the vid up in a bit

 

 

you can hardly see it wobbles

 

I can see the wobble... it doesn't look like it's bolted on tight.

What's with the weird bolt with the double washer on the top? You sure you have the right hardware securing it on there. I don't think I've ever seen a dizzy bolt with a phillips (or JIS) head on it.

 

i wouldnt know, the car came like that
i'm still not too familiar withthe ed chassis yet

 

have you taken any steps to diagnose this?

like opening the cap?

checking the rotor?

checking if theres play in the shaft?

 

no, my main concerns was the bolts
will check though just in case

 

so i finally got around fixing this, it was the key on the distributor which was on the wrong way, so i flipped it 180 degrees and and then the wobbling went away
