brake caliper repair-rear
Overhauled the one of the rear brake caliper due to a leak . brake fluid was leaking into the adjuster screw chamber causing it to lose pressure during breaking. As a result that side was not applying enough break and the other side was over compensating with excess pad wear.
This was the culprit......worn 'O' ring on the adjuster screw [IMG]http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u154/asangag/IMG_4991_zpsf667fe90.jpg

Dissy Assembly
Managed to reassemble the spare distributor I pulled apart few months ago. I also found the root cause. Initially I thought its the ignitor but once I pulled it apart I found traces of oil inside the ignitor which caused leakage (volage) and intermittent misfire. This could be a common failure mode for most of these distributors.
Ignitor module Coil assembly Base of the dissy...note the shaft bearing After applying high temp silicone to seal the two units. This was sealed at the factory and I had to scrape off the old silicone and clean both surfaces before applying fresh silicone. The factory seal had broken in few places over the years and I found traces of oil inside. Once butt the two together and tightening the three screws to secure the coil assembly to the base. Note the orientation as it will only fit together in one orientation. After wiping the squeeze out Did the same for the ignition module unit. Found traces of oil in here as well. In fact the seal was completely broken and there was quite a bit of oil inside which would have grounded the secondary coil intermittently. After the assembly Screws to connect the ignitor to the coil The metal disk The rotating plate (shutter blades). shutter blade to disrupt the sensor’s magnetic window and trip the switch (transistor). The shaft that rotor plugs into, Note the orientation Tighten the center screw

Putting the plastic shield on
Now the Rotor, Note the orientation, it looks symmetrical but its NOT, it can be fitted in all 3 orientations BUT only goes down fully (until it clicks) in one orientation! The rotor is fully in now Small gap between the rotor and the plastic shield Putting the cover on Tighten the two screws and leave it for 24hrs for the silicon to fully cure Finally the 'O' ring Done!

Thats some good info about the dissy, was about to diagnose what seems to be a misfire with my car. Im thinking either spark plugs or spark leads in one or two of the cylinders. Usually happens between 1800 and 2300 rpm when cruising/sitting on throttle. Might be my dissy aswell. Will have to check it out.

Do you mind posting this post up into a sticky in the mechanical section too? It's the most detailed description and photography I've ever seen on this.
