Default New distributor (corrosion)

12 month ago, i installed a new-type-distributor
(with some grease) into my new engine .

Due to some reason, i took it out in between
(10 Month ago) and it looked good back than.

I put (3 times) oil into the oil-fitting since than.

Friday i heard some strange noises while driving
and back home, i detected the distributor as
"noisy" and i had some fun to get it out of the head.

Never saw such an amount of rotten junk....
Bearings are gone for sure
Points open barely....

What was wrong there???

Thank you for your suggestions
Christoph

I put in my spare distributor (80years plus)
again which does fine....
