Default B16A2 distributor rotor screw keeps getting loose

Hello,

I have an unusual problem in my EG6 with B16A2. Every few months the screw that holds the rotor in my distributor kept getting loose. When I finally changed it and used a washer to tighten properly it snapped and damaged the distributor. I have since replaced a new distributor from ebay and after about a year the same problem happened. What is causing it to happen over and over again?

Regards,
Adam

Use non-permanent (blue) Loctite on it. Clean the screw and the hole with solvent first.
