it's quite hard to explain without any pictures. As you can see with this picture right here, the hole is in such a way the distributore can enter in only one way.
so as it was left side right tomatch the timing sequence, it kept poppping out becausewe couldn't bolt it right.
the bracket was off and the hole thing went up by an inch, that's when I understood something was wrong. Plus it was fittng all nice and clean 189 degrees out and not nice at all on the right side.
so I repacked it all right, took a brake light and did myself a test lamp with some lying wires, statically ajusted the timing with the number 1 cylinder 10 degrees btdc and I started my first wire wherever that was. so my number 1 cylinder is were number 2 would be and so on .
but it actually works just fine

I hope that the distributor drive gear is still lined up with the oil pump drive shaft. If you don't have oil pressure when the engine is running it 's because of that. Trying to force a distributor down into the pedestal will just shove the oil puump drive shaft down into the pump..out of reach of the drive gear.

In my (admittedly limited) experience, that suggests the rings haven't yet seated.
Several techniques for assuring this happens during break-in (assuming the cylinder walls were suitably honed) and even a radical technique if all else fails (the Bon Ami treatment).
poolboy, no
DNK, I don't what hose you are talking about,
the valve cover is the original one
Geo Hahn, several ride were made with th car, with incredible white smoke at the tail pipe. smoke doesn't smell sweet at all and the prestone doesn't lower neither.v it is the same smoke previous the engine rebuilt

Paging down, your one photo shows an upper engine oiling line: www.britishcarforum.com/bcforum/ubbthreads.php/topics/865261/Re_TR6_engine_rebuilt#Post865261RFLX said:
I've seen an engine do a good impression of a mosquito fogger with that same oiling line. Take it off and see if there's any difference - I'll wager the problem is that oiler.
