Gentlemen,
A little heads up.
I recently purchased a few small things from FCP and in the process, to make it worth the shipping cost, scored a Bosch cap & rotor set for my car.
As cheap insurance for good performace, I usually replace the cap & rotor once a year. The last time I did that "service" my preference was for the "el cheapo" cap & rotor because I do it often. The last time was at the end of the Summer beginning of Fall.
But, in a quest to determine my poor gas mileage (outside of the change in weather & gas formulation), and after testing, examioning, looking, and going over everything, I decided to replace the cap & rotor.
Yesterday, I went out to quickly replace said parts. I found that the "el cheapo" rotor never sat all the way down on the distributer shaft, how I never noticed this is a mystery. In other words, the Bosch rotor fits perfectly, goes all the way down, and looks tailor made. The "el cheapo" sits higher on the shaft, no matter my effort or the force used to push it down.
Did'nt have a way to measure it at that time but it looked almost 3/8" ot 1/2" higher than the Bosch unit.
Be on the look out.
Or, better yet, buy Bosch.
