Keen, Did the aftermarket cap and rotor thing.... do yourself a favor and bite the bullet on the real marelli cap and rotor. My aftermarket lasted 30 minutes. The quality of the construction is considerably noticable when the two caps are placed side by side. I personally would rather have the higher quality product with the reduced risk of catalytic converter fire from one-sided failure engine failure that the marelli-equipped cars are noted for (see archives for long detailed discussion).
