Ken,

Based on experience with other brands, a timing mark flying around could be caused by worn out shaft bearing in the distributor. This is assuming my memory is correct and the LH 2.0 system has the hall sensor in the distributor.

There is an easy test to check for this, remove the distributor cap, grab ahold of the rotor and move it side to side, if there is slop, you have found the answer. No slop means no problem.

This used to be a huge issue in distributors with points but it still holds true in hall based systems (although not nearly as sensitive to it).
