Rich Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 To change the thermostat on the XR3i I need to remove the distributor. Now I've been told it has to go back on in EXACTLY the same position. I can mark it with a marker but will this be enough for me to align it? What happens if it's not put back in the same position?

Yes, that's good enough. I tended to put a scratch or chisel a small groove across the base in case a marker pen got rubbed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorps Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 As above but if it is out all you need to do is turn the dizzy either anticlockwise/clockwise until it runs smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 yes should be fine , make a note of the position of the rotor arm as well when you remove it and refit , digi pic is the easy way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
