the rotor should only be able to go on in one position because the hole and shaft are "half circle" shaped

if your talking about the rotor is in a position where you cant expose the screw to fasten it

then turn the engine at the crankshaft pulley until you can get it exposed

umm, it doesnt matter. as long as its attached to the head, theres only 1 way for everything to fit.


something tells me this is a super duper polished noob or a troll.

Remove the 15A hood ECU fuse and then flick the ignition switch until the rotor is repositioned so that the screw can be reinstalled. Removing the fuse will prevent you from blowing the coil while flicking the ignition switch with the cap off.

Hook up a timing light and adjust the ignition timing. See FAQs sticky.
