Yes they are.
There's a quick way to check this advance mechanism.
Remove the cap and try to move the rotor backwards from the normal rotation (counterclockwise).
If it moves backward several degrees and then springs back, it's OK.
If not, the distributor should be disassembled and the cause determined.
