I've now experienced this twice....the first time my fault for not noticing and the second time I get to blame it on the PO or their mechanic.
I have found with the P unit, that if you use a Bosch Rotor, it rubs, creates dust and causes the car to run like shit. When you put it on, it doesn't seem to interfere, but when the car begins to run like crap, it has rubbed. The first car has a grey aftermarket rotor in it when I changed it to Bosch. A couple of weeks later, it began to run like shit. After going thru all the motions and finally pulling the dizzy cap, I saw the dust. Pulling the rotor you could see where it scraped. I threw the unit away and put in a Crane/Allison Optical. The second car I bought. It has run fine for about 3000 or so miles. It started to run like crap and I thought it was bad gas (gasoline..not me). After investigation, there was the rotor a scraped up. Some grinding and things are a little better. I still going to throw the piece of shit away and install a Crane/Allison. Moral of story....none....just a warning for those that want to mix a Bosch rotor with a P unit. The Bosch must be slightly thicker than others. Ok, so I'm just stupid...........Take your shot Z............. |
