2.0 Djet. I changed out the plate due to a disconnected ground about a year ago and cleaned and lubed everything at that time. It has worked fine since then, til yesterday. Went to start the car and it did not sound right. Then no spark. Fiddled with a few things to make sure the wiring on the coil did not rattle loose etc, tried again and the distributer rotated 180 degrees and exposed this fancy new hole.
 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)  Towed it home and dismantled the distributer this morning to find the following.   It had been wearing away for a while based on the metal shavings. The shavings are not brass / bronze from the normal wear of the rotor /cap.  Notice the wear on the FI trigger points plate too  Part numbers for reference  Here is a picture of the car for good measure. She looks real good (sitting in the garage!)

bigkensteele is right about splitting the case. The brass drive gear is tatered now after its run-in with the steel drive shaft. Even if you could flush the chunks & shavings out of the engine, the two gears might not engage in a trustworthy manner. Judging from how my drive gear looked when I removed it, the poor fit between the gears would lead to more brass shavings over a prolonged period, meaning you might have to replace a bunch of parts instead of just one.
Stiff upper lip! This is an opportunity. Go kick its butt. Mark |

Stiff upper lip! This is an opportunity. Go kick its butt. Mark I was under the impression that the drive gear on the distributer side was brass while the gear on the cam was steel. After cleaning up the distributer drive gear I now see that it is steel and shows almost no wear. Which means the trashed gear is the one on the cam. Fuch! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I guess I will be splitting the case. I am tremendously glad to have had everyone's help in figuring that out before really screwing things up. It has been 20 years since I rebuilt a type 1 so I will have a lot of questions. |
