Shortly after i posted my forum i started working trying to find out the problom.. Shortly after i pulled the plug and noticed that i was not getting any spark i pulled my cap off the distributer and noticed some plastic pieces broken in there .. Turns out the set screw in that holds the rotor on the small shaft had backed it self out and damaged the rotor and knocked a wire loose in the distributer.. A quick trip down to the parts store and it was running fine again.. But a few hours later i was running it pretty hard again and broke a big piece of my clutch on the disc where the springs are held in.. So ive replaced it with a act stage 3 and hd pressure plate... THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!! Chris

It's amazing to me how frequently R owners (myself included) have had the rotor screw come loose in their distributor.

Loctite & tighten well. If you notice any rough idle, I'd pull the cap & check it again :wink:

I had mine back out once, and It really killed my distributor cap, but other than that, I didn't notice any adverse performance with it. I just happened to hear a rattle, so I took it to the dealer and had them take it apart...gotta love warranty.

Any way, if you're gonna use locktite, make sure you use the realy light stuff, not the red stuff, cause otherwise you'll have a really hard time getting it out later, if it even comes out without stripping....

Later,
Aj
