Hello all,
I'm at a loss. I replaced head gasket/timing belt/water pump etc. and have had an issue. Car wouldn't fire up, and I noticed that they're was a timing cover bolt that was loose, turned out to be stripped. I then noticed that the distributor caps points were sheered off. I figured it was the loose bolt moving stuff around. I helicoiled the head, put the bolt back got new distributor/rotor, and tried to fire up agin with similar results. I have the metal lifter installed as well as the plastic cover. Can anyone give me an idea as to why this is happening? not the greatest pics, but you can see the shavings on the cover and one of the points is bent. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
