Hello to All,

Any knowledge as to why this should happen on a B20 with about 110,000 miles.
Fatigue or an oil passage problem? At the moment, the engine is out of the car ,the oil pan is off and the distributor gear is very tight and not wanting to come up. In fact , a small piece of the aluminum distributor base is tight to the gear itself, and not wanting to come off. ( I'll cut it out once gear is free of engine) Makes me want to check all my oil passage ways. Best way to proceed?
Thanks
On Hudson
