wozy said:Blimey I hope you caught that quick. I was in Northway years ago and a bloke was paying for a rebuild on his 993 caused by the belt in the dizzys breaking.
Cameltoe & Heel said:Chaps I have my distributer out at the moment and following the instructions on Dec's link above, seems fairly straightforward if handy with the tools otherwise I would leave it. You have to drill the old pin out and there's many parts that you need to understand how they go back together. Mine actually took some fairly gentle persuasion to come out of the block, which I can imagine if done with engine in situ would be a real pain.
Gives a good chance to clean up the block and dissis is places you can't easily reach.
Yes I can see why the labour cost would be high on this work.

This was the infamous Peppermint Pig.
I believe the crank snapped and this was attributed to broken distributor drive belt.
