Just got the head back from the shop and mad at myself for forgetting to remove the distributer. Now the machinist has removed it with markings or pictures and I can't figure out how to get it back in. I can see how it totally could be put in 180 degrees off. I can't get it to slide in either way. It goes in till I can still see the top of the large o-ring but no further. What's the secret? Do I have to tap it in? There is the plastic alignment piece in one of the screws so it should be reasonably close in timing if I could just figure out how to get it to go in all the way. I did draw picture of cams in tdc so if I rotate cam to that position the rotor should be firing #1, right? But how to slide it in?
thanks,
