It's hard to say. It's the rotor end that is loose. Engine end don't feel too bad. The first one I received from Summit the car barely idled and wouldn't go over about 1,000 rpm. They sent me another one and it ran pretty good until this spring. Electronic ignitions are great until they screw up or leave you stranded. This car is lucky if it sees 200 miles a year and I see I bought it 3 years ago. I just wasted over $350.00 on another piece of useless crap.

Yes.. Rotor side loose. Back side isn't bad. Unbelievable as this car is lucky if it sees 200 miles a year. As I stated earlier I had to send the first one back as the car wouldn't even run over about 1000 rpm.
