    Which distributor rotor for MB9?

    in Electrical

    Posted

    Hi!

    Im planing on buying new distributor cap and rotor for MB9 (D15Z8 engine) but all the searches point me to two sloutions:

    I will open the cap today to see whats in now, but still, I would like more info regarding this - how come there are two different rotors available for this engine? Both are Nipparts...

    Many thanx!

    Need help with engine oil - MB9

    in Engine & Chassis

    Hi folks!

    Im just about to do a bigger service on my 1.5 MB9. However, due to (oil sump is a bit "oily" wet) broken oil sump seal, Im now running on minimum (low dipstick hole still covered with oil though). Sad fact is, I still have to use the car for next 7 days before the service and unfortunatelly I dont know which oil is there in the engine (I know its Pennzoil, but thats it - Im a new owner).

    Now, I would like to either:

    a) top up oil - but dont know which one can I take

    B) do an oil and non-OE filter change (cheap solution - should do for a week). But again, which oil to use?

    Im leaning towards option B) but I have been told two different things. Friends advised me on using high detergent oil so I flush out all the dirt out before using the right, new oil. Some, on the other hand, told that wouldnt be a good idea because if I cleaned all the carbon build-up in the engine, that might result in rings losing tension. Consequentially, engine would be inclined to start burning oil and suffer from blow-by.

    What would your advice be?

    Btw, its a 98 reg. 1.5 84 Kw engine - 120K miles on the clock...

    Many thanx!

    Many thanks folks! I have an apointment with a guy that deals with these things tomorow and we'll have a look...

    One more thing to ad: a few days back the car was quite loaded (600 lbs in the trunk, two passengers in front (500 lbs), one in the back (170 lbs) and I must say, the steering was very very light. It also happenned to be windy so I hade to pay attention on correcting directions all the time. Considering the car is pretty light and the fact it was quite loaded, that could be normal...on the other hand, I prefer asking here just to make sure ;)

    Again, thanx for your feedback!

    BEst...

    MB9 (Aerodeck 1.5) - suspension rattle

    Hi folks!

    I just bought my first Honda recently - a good looking and well taken care of 1.5 Vtec - E Aerodeck.

    So far, Im very pleased with the car but do have a problem with suspension. When Im driving over bumps and roughs terrain, I can feel (and hear) like something was loose. Also, when going faster through bends (uneven, rough terrain only), the car doesnt feel compact and stable but rattles a little and looses traction a bit. Could this be due to worn rubber bushings in the suspension? Anything else I should pay attention to? The car now has roughly around 120K miles on the clock.

    I have also noticed that the it has Monroe shocks which indicates they have allready been changed. I have a feeling that the shock / stock spring combo isnt working well too. I am planning on putting a Koni set on later (just got the car) but would first like to sort out the rattling / play problem in the suspension. Any input regarding this is much appreaciated!

    Best,
