so i decided to change my o ring since it was leaking today and not paying attention i accidentally moved it. now i cant get it to go back in i was out there for like 30 mins and i couldnt get it to go back in and now im screwed and i have no idea how i would bring it back to how it was before, before i moved it sorry i have no idea what its called lol so i kind of sound dumb

 

im talking about the little teeth things that go into the head, i decided to just take off my cap and rotate my rotor until it goes in and it worked but then when i try to push it in if your on the passenger side the left side closest to the firewall doesnt go in no matter how hard i push it wont move if i wiggle it same thing and if i screw it in all the bolt is hard and wont really move until i start putting the top and right side in first then finish the left side

could it be possible that i have the wrong distributor? because ive changed a distributor before and it slipped right in this one is having a lot of trouble to get back in

the distributor worked fine before i pulled it, before i pulled it it was hard as hell to come out but now it just wont go back in

 

How could you all of a sudden have a the wrong distributor.

Make sure the teeth are aligned properly. Forcing it in like some idiot did a few weeks ago will not do you any good.

You will also need a timing gun to set your ignition timing again.

 

If its an aftermarket dizzy, try spinning the "little teeth" 180 degrees? if not i have no idea what you are talking about, your english is hard to understand.

also to correct your ignition timing you will need a timing gun. good luck man.

 

yea sorry guys i have no idea what its called so like i cant really explain it

when i try to push the distributor in its like something is blocking it it would go in on an angle

 

It only goes in one way. Turn it 180 degrees and it sould go in rather easily if you didnt bend the teeth. The best way to figure out if its right is to turn your motor over on to the tdc position and the rotor should be pointed downward to the left.

 

ok i can get the gear to go into the camshaft but once its in it just wont budge and sit flush with the head

 

Have someone who knows what they're doing put it back on. Seriously

 

Rotate the gear on the distributor 180 degrees, then try. Done this before myself, facepalmed hard afterwards.

 

It will only go on one way. If its not right spin it around half a turn. It will fit after that.

 

yes PLEASE have someone else re-install it. This is almost as simple as it gets.

needs to go in here... http://media.photobucket.com/image/b...intakecam3.jpg

It's just like putting your ***** in a woman's butt hole. You don't want to force it it, just gently move it around until your in.

 

and i did have somebody else install it today that knows what theyre doing same thing happening

so you guys can stop being deuches

 

well obviously you arent doing what these people have told you to do....it only goes on one way unless ur holding the damn thing upside down........


or for some shear act of uber stupidity you somehow put it down and picked up the wrong one but you dont seem like the kind of guy that has spare parts like that sitting around lol

and the somebody else that installed it and same thing happened.....yeah he doesnt know what the **** hes doing either

who knows this could be a great example of the decline of the american public school system lol

 

Did you put a o-ring on it that is 2 big and now it won't go back in? As stated it should be pretty straight forward. The 2 teeth on the dizzy have to align with the cam and if it doesn't want to go then rotate the teeth on the back of the distributor 180deg. and it should go in with ease. Possible the distributor was dropped while you had it out and messed up one of the teeth on it? You need to set base timing with a timing light after you get this problem figured out.

 

 

How can something break so easily is my question? This is easier then changing your oil, apparently whoever you said knows what they are doing doesn't know what they are doing either. Take a picture of your distributor and post it up.

I want to see whats so different about it that you can't seem to get it back on.

 

holy fail

 

i am now dumber for taking time to read this thread we all should smack ourselves

 

What is the part with the teeth called?
