So this can cause strange multiple misfire problems? I’ve underwent EVERY cause of misfire for my 4.3 TBI and tonight I went out and pulled up and down on the shaft and it moves a bit but I don’t want to pull it out just yet because that’s a lot for me to undergo with a budget
Impossible that it could jump far enough up to come off the camshaft. If that was the case you wouldnt be sitting in the oil pump shaft...If the shaft jumped that far it would have destroyed the rotor by hitting the inside of the cap.
That is literally what he said, but obviously what he ment was the helical gears made the main shaft in the distributor walk up so far that it through his timing off enough to cause major operating issues. Every 10 thousands end play slop is the same as 1.2 degrees in timing. That's major.
Hello there, my question is sort of off topic. I’ve got oil some how coming up my distributor’s shaft in to my distributor’s housing causing my sbc to lose spark causing me to loose power or not start at all. Any idea how I can keep this from happening? I’m probably going to replace o rings and the shaft gasket but I don’t know if this will help because it’s coming up the shaft regardless. Thanks for your time in advance!
well good video, but you tell us what to do and not actually show us how to do it, I don't mean to be rude, I just wished you would have gone on to punch that pin out and shim it etc.
I don't get it, why go to the trouble to make a video about an HEI distributor shimming and not show how to install the shims, I didn't look up a video on how to shim a distributor to only show the tools to do it with or about engine timing, it makes no sense and by the way you forgot to mention that having to much end play on distributor shaft will cause the roll pin to sheer on distributor gear.
Thank you! Helped me a lot, all nessesary information in 2,49 minutes! My endplay was about 2,44 cm or 0,096 inch.
Regards from Sweden!
For some reason I was not notified of your comment, Glad I could Help! I tried to keep it short and to the point!
CRF230Pro No worries, wish you a happy new year. Honestly my Chevy never ran this good ever before. Thanks to you my friend.
