S13 Single Jingle Issues

Okay back story, a friend of mine bought a creamy grey two tone from a mutual friend. The car was mixing water and oil despite having a recently done head gasket. The car ran great but of course was mixing fluids. Pulled the motor apart and sure enough broken timing chain guide and the chain rubbed through the cover. So head goes to the machine shop for new valve stem seals deck the head and a hot tank. It got a new timing cover and timing chain set. It will not run worth a shit, it back fires through the intake and wont idle and is super choppy. We have stabbed the distributor about 100 times and tried a different ECU, Coil, and igniter, even a brand new distributor but to no avail. If anyone has some suggestions that would be fantastic

edit: We also double checked the mechanical timing, it had plated links so it would be hard to fuck up in the first place

Sooo, the car ran fine before the head work? W/ the exception of mixing fluids.

Check your timing for the 100 and 1 time. Check everything that you undid. It's something that you're overlooking, if it's not your timing.

One weird aspect about it, twisting the distributor past its locks to see if it will run better or worse has little to no effect on how it runs. The car does have a leaky sun roof and it sat outside for a while during the time it was at the machine shop, is there anything else that potentially could have gotten wet that I wouldn't be familiar with?

If you're certain the chain is right, make sure the distributior isn't 180° out and double check your firing order.
Was it checked with a timing light?

Yes, I just did all this to my SOHC, get a timing light, you NEED it, also, it's very important to make sure you're oil pump is lined up correctly or your ignition timing will be off

Surely your timing is wrong, if you literally say everything else is good, timing is he only thing that is adjustable.


You can't adjust valve seals, ignition coil, ecu, ignitor, so that leaves you with one option.

s13 Flip up headlight adjustment

Hey guys I'm new to the forum. I know this is thread is for motor talk but I didn't feel like searching through all the threads for headlight adjustments. Figured since the single cams came with flips you all could help me.

So I know there's two fine adjustment screws on the flip up headlights. Are these screws replaceable? One of mine has a eaten up head on it there for I can't adjust it easily. I have to use pliers which gets annoying. I've tried just adjusting the whole housing but then my flip ups look weird when ones up further than the other.

Thanks in advance

Instead of making a random question in someone else's thread, make your own thread.
If you don't feel like doing that, use the "Search" function in the upper left hand corner to narrow your search.
