Urgent--Broken distributor drive gear solved, other problem.



I wrote a message, but didn't think it went through--I'll repeat.

I had a broken distributor drive gear (plastic) on my 1990 90CQ, and after
replacing it with a bosch distributor with metal gear, I get a rattling
(between a rattling and a grinding) around 2000 rpms, it seems to be coming
from the distributor area.

I believe this to be a piece of plastic from the old drive gear caught
between some gear teeth?  Otherwise I would have to think it may be a
problem with the cam shaft.

Any suggestions?

I wish I didn't have to claim this as urgent, but I have little other
choice--I'm nearing 3 weeks without my car, so any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Also, where's the best place to order a Bentley for my car (90CQ)?  My
mechanic will sell me one at his cost ($90 or so?) -- still a little pricey,
but can you put a price on priceless knowledge?

Thanks!
