Topic: 22re distributor issues

[4runner4x4]

i have purchased a new long block from a local machine shop and when i tried to slide in the distributor once it reaches the tapper it gets stuck. the head seems to be some Chinese crap one distributor got stuk and i had to use a persuader to bring it out and its toast i have a new one and it gets caught in the same spot. i am thinking dremel out the hole where it has these scars but am afraid that the o ring will not seat after any advice ? should i sand down the shaft on the distributor to make it slide in?

have you tried calling the machine shop. I would bring it down there, and show them.

it was a shop my buddy used to work at and they were fighting us on other issues with the ports being so they are useless to me unless it grenades on brake in.  that will be when i take it down. as of last night motor is in the truck and i am just going to fix it worse come to worse gonna need a larger o ring once i smooth out the bore. i am just looking to see if anyone has ever run into this.

If all else fails, dremel it and use a big o ring, and maybe some silicone sealant?
Do Amy other distributors slide in? Just a thought.

that is what i am thinking and no the new one i purchased is the same exact fit.

Or use fine Emery cloth or find sand paper to get a really fine fit.
