Blown head gasket?

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

If you have it running but can't get the distributor locked down because if its position, then you most likely have the distributor one tooth off.

What I want you to try is removing and replacing the distributor. Here are the directions specific to your vehicle for doing this. The two attached pictures correlate with these directions:

REMOVAL
1. Remove the screws securing the distributor cap and remove the cap.
2. Remove the bolt securing the distributor.
3. Disconnect the crank angle sensor connector and remove the distributor.

2. Install the distributor, making sure the rotor is aligned as shown when fully seated.
3. Install the distributor securing bolt and tighten slightly.
4. Connect the crank angle sensor terminal.
5. Install the distributor cap and tighten the screws.
6. Refer to ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES and adjust the timing.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
