and there it is! clean i all off with a good no flash contact cleaner and it should be all set as long as you dont see any carbon tracking on the cap.

Pics of this Saturday's dissection:

I took apart my opti, cleaned the small amount of oil in it. swapped the optical sensor with that of my spare working opti, and put it all back together cleaned. it started. then turned off and no start again.

No leak on the timing cover to the opti


I replaced these rubber o-rings on the opti shaft, as the factory service manual says to do.


Only source of leaky oil on the front cover, the water pump drive seal out the timing cover. I think small amounts land on the opti and seep their way inside. BTW the opti isn't a perfectly sealed device...


Common rotor wear. (spark is not the issue anyways, just a cool pic)

Notice lack of oil, not what I was expecting...


When I saw this, I shit bricks. This HAD to be it. Oil on the optical sensor.


Some splatter. Maybe it leaked a little through the shaft? But there was no oil around the seal.


I didn't bother to clean this. I knew the optical sensor worked in my test unit.


So we swapped em


Cleaned everything
