My jeep started making a noise when you crank it up. Seems to go away after warming up.
If I put my hand on the distributor cap it feels like it is running rough. I've replaced the cap and rotor race and didn't help. Jeep drives fine.
What do you think?

Sorry about being at night but you can hear the sound.
 
Angry squirrel:confused: Almost sounds like an air leak of some sort. Take a long screwdriver, hold it to your ear and start touching parts of the engine. You'll isolate the sound.
 
I'm pretty sure its the distributor. I had coworker look at it and he agreed. He thinks its a bearing on the distributor. Are there bearings on these that can be replaced?
