Default How To: Replace Upper Distributor Mount on D16Z6

Hey guys,

So like title states, when dropping my motor in the top distributor mount broke off w/ where I had the chain attached.

I sprinted to my old D15B2 and I was able to undo the two bolts, take off the valve cover and remove the top dizzy mount.

Yet, when I tried to do the same thing for the Z6 it didn't work!! I heard to bang it w/ a hammer b/c the dowels could be holding it in place. So I did and now...



It looks like I might be able to replace the mount from under the valve cover. Can anyone vouch?

Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe JB weld...lol?

Or take it to a reputable shop and have it welded.

Never seen this happen!

Wouldn't have hooked chains up to distributor either.

Can't you just replace the cam holder?

Obviously, that is what I wrote. I have done dozens of DOHC and SOHC swaps and it's the first time the dizzy mount broke

Time for cam, cam gear, ECU chip and tuning I guess

the fact that there's still 3 bolts in it might be why it won't come off
