PonchoCatalina Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I was working on my '91 Loyale this past weekend replacing all four of the driver-side HLAs. In the course of the project, I removed the distributor and set it aside. When I went to re-install it, I found a small metal disc, a little smaller in diameter than a dime and slightly thicker, lying near the distributor shaft. It looked very much like a wristwatch battery dimensionally (I can post a pic this evening if it helps). Could this be some sort of shim that the distributor shaft rides on to ensure correct gear meshing with the cam? I kind of assumed that it had been adhered to the base of the disty shaft by a film of oil and then fell off, but I'm not sure. I certainly don't want to drop it into the cam case if it isn't supposed to go there! Thanks. - Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Nope - unrelated part. The gear is free-floating in the case. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
