Dizzy lifts up when turning by hand, In the build process Options

[jeffdon]

Got my engine on the stand with heads on. When turning the engine over by hand, I am getting a little binding that I think is coming from the dizzy. It also wants to lift out of the hole by about a 1/4 inch. The hold down is tight. What could this be? I am turning the motor clock wise as I face the fan.

I've had it happen in my old dizzy, one of the inner bushings on the shaft of the dizzy either broke or wore out. I had about 1/4" of up/down movement in the shaft and I had to source another dizzy. I believe Bosch used to sell rebuild kits for all the internal bushing, washers, etc. I'm not sure if they still do or not.....but it looks like a fairly involved process to repair. I opted to purchase a used dizzy through Bruce Stone to replace my broken one.

Anyone know what acceptable endplay for a distributor would be? I am getting about 2mm play, but also able to tilt the drive tang about 3mm back and forth. This look within tolerance or is it toast?
