    Quick question about (dizzy) rotor

    I'm looking at the ignition system on my 92 cb7/F22a1 and wondering if (like 16V VWs where I cut my teeth) the distributor rotor is glued on, or just pressed on? On a VW they almost never come off cleanly, is this true on an F22A1?

    If it's original, or more likely an OEM replacement, it's held on by a phillips screw, accessible through the access hole in the dust cover. If the distributor is attached to the engine, you'll have to turn the engine over until the screw is visible.
    If it's an aftermarket rotor, it's usually held on with a tension clip inside. Those tend to get stuck over time if they're old.

    Once you've either removed the screw or verified that there is no screw, do your best to apply even pressure as you pull... you may get lucky. Sometimes they're stuck on there pretty good, though.

      Most I've seen use the tension clip but it's always best to check for a screw too. Use the 19mm on the p/s pulley to turn the engine over counter-clockwise to double check. Always put a thin film of grease on the "D" shaft of the dizzy, those like to really stick on there!

        Yeah, at this point, it's more common for these cars to have cheaper autoparts store replacements, rather than proper OEM stuff... unless the rotor is REALLY old, or the car came from someone that maintained it meticulously!
        Always check, though. If there's a screw instead of a clip, it's not coming off until you remove it... and if you pull too hard on a rotor that's screwed to the shaft, you could end up damaging the distributor.

          Sadly the replacement cap I just bought from the dealership has the tension clip and not the screw.

            Thinking back, with the TEC accord and prelude units (td-34, 54 & 60u) that I'm used to, I've never seen those use a set screw. So far the only dizzy that I've handled that used a screw was for a 90-93 Integra. Also, my 95 Odyssey F22B6 Hitachi unit uses a screw, so it's very possible that the F22B1 (hitachi also) uses a screw too. One thing I cannot stress enough is that thin film of grease, if not, rust develops on the shaft and really causes some headaches later on.
