88 740 distributor cap came loose !

Post by 122sPhil »

checked my power sterring fluid so I had the engine running. looked up at the distriubutor, appears "someone" ;-) forgot to torque the distributor cap properly..

the cap was only holding on by a couple threads and one bolt the other bolts were not enguaged, one went missing.

funny it was still running like that;-) I could actually see the rotor inside turning and the cap had backed away by about 1/4"
