    Distributor fitment issue..HELP!

    Okay so to start this off I will say that I had a buddy replace the lower spark plug tube seals for me..(bad idea..should have done it myself or taken it somewhere) now the distributor wont just pop right back in. It looks as if the rocker assembly isn't perfectly lined up with the head correctly. Im new into the sohc game so im unsure of what to do.
    Thanks in advance

    Take your rocker assembly off and put it back on if it isn't straight. Make sure nothing is binding. Rotate the crank a couple of times by hand. Then put the distributor on.

        As long as it was torqued and untorqued in the proper sequence you should be good to go.

          Were the valve adjusting screws backed off before reinstalling the rocker assembly? If not, then the valve spring load may be responsible for causing the rocker assembly not to seat correctly. I don't think you need to take it completely apart. Back off all the valve adjusters several turns, loosen all the rocker bolts (a little at a time), then retorque them in steps in proper sequence, then adjust the valves.

            I'm not too sure if he backed them off or not but I took the whole assembly off, backed off the the adjustment screws and reinstalled..Everything lined up and the dizzy went in without a problem. The car is up and running as of yesterday, had to replace the clutch master cylinder and slave today. Going to drive her tomorrow so hopefully everything goes alright. Thanks for the help.

                  I disagree. With a good socket, wrench set and torque wrench you can fix damn near everything on the CB. The special tools are more of an investment as the cost of using them outweigh the cost of going to a shop.

                    I have a ridiculous amount of tools..mostly snap on. I've built a Mitsubishi dual cam turbo (put down just under 500hp at the crank) but the single cam is new territory for me, just a couple new tricks that I needed to learn. The setup of the head is what got me confused, I just need to swap a dual cam into it. Lol
                    Thanks again for the help
