i noticed coolant on the ground the other day and pop the hood sure enough coolant is leaking form the lower intake.

my questions are, i've never mess with a distributer but i know i am gonna have to take it out to replace the gasket, now if i take it out will it only go back in one way? i don't wanna get the timing way off. other then that this looks like a simple job, take off the plenum,and unbolt the bolts take off the distrubter and the lower intake should come off, any tips or should i use RTV any where as well?

 

Take off the dis cap, mark the position of the rotor with a piece of masking tape marked "rotor seated" put another piece of tape on the firewall behind the dissy and draw a mark on the tape and a matching mark on the dissy's base plate. when you pull the dissy up the rotor will turn alittle, mark this position with tape marked "rotor up", when you reassemble just line up the marks and you should be all set.

 

haha sounds complicated, i'll give it a try

 

it's easier than it sounds, you just have to know where everything is pointing before you take it apart.

 

i've never done that, i've gotten the hang of finding TDC as a result!

after you get it back together if you do that, at least put a timing light on it and make sure its 100% on the spot.

 

great thanks its just i never took off a cap before so i'llhave to look up what each part is, only messed with DIS cars

i will be tearing into it for about a hour or so a day after work

so i'll keep this updated

 

ok a little update and time for directions lol, the lim bolts where its leaking at were soo loose i could loosen them by hand WTF, how tight are they suppose to be?

i took some pics my camera had no battery so they came out crappy

in this pic gas has obviously been leaking i am thinking its the injector orings are bad, also i noticed the injector harness that comes out on the back they go staright out to the injectors, on the front they cross, if you understand what i am saying, is that normal?
