Every 6,000 miles smear the cam (B) with engine oil.
A pronounced
squeak occurs when the cam is dry.
Withdraw the moulded rotor arm
from the top of the spindle and apply a few drops of thin machine oil
around the edge of the screw (A) to lubricate the cam bearings and
distributor spindle.
At the same time, place a single drop of clean engine
oil on the pivots (C) and (D).
