My dizzy has been leaking oil from the internal seal for quite sometime and Im starting to have issues. I replaced the outer seal and tried to get to the inner seal but the phillips head screw just want to strip no matter what I do. Im starting to get an intermittent code 8, TDC sensor. I want to just replace it but an OEM from Japan costs $1000. I dont want to buy some Chinese crap either. I have plans for boost in the near futute so I need a decent dizzy obviously.

Anybody got any brands they recommend for a TD-60U ?

 

You need an OEM one... either find a clean one from a JDM inporter and take a shot at it working for some time OR pony up the coin and get that high dollar new one.

 

Why not go to an external coil TD-61U?

 

I would... but that is NOT the question that you asked. Removing the coil from inside of the distributor housing pulls a ton of heat out... extending the life of all parts inside by reducing the heat exposure.
