Hello Mini people-
I installed a new distributor from MM in my Mini's metro engine, the kind with the "fork" holding clamp, with a little oil on the shaft. I want to adjust the timing, but once the engine is warmed up the distributor is REALLY STUCK, as in, it won't rotate, even with the holding fork totally disengaged. Once the engine cools, it turns. It will be a challenge to set the timing under these circumstances...
Any advice? Should I have used anti-seize during installation?
