Subject:burned rotor

hey all,
yesterday for no apparent reason i popped off my distributor cap.  my rotor
has a burned mark on the top about the size of a cigar burn.  now it was an
after market cap and rotor, but has been in there for almost two years and i
checked the rotor one month ago when i installed the new engine and it was
fine.  what caused this to burn out in a 1000 miles? i installed a new bosch
cap and rotor and wires this time.  what should i look for to keep this one
from burning up?  is it because it was after market cap and rotor?  did the
new engine have anything to do with it?
thanks
jason
