Removing 2.9L Fuel Rail?

[masterelyt]

I'll take your notes into consideration and once I finally rack up the money for a head set, cam and lifters, and possibly head machining I'll get her going again. As for the distributor, I'll be turning the engine over so a mark on the block where the distributor is won't work, I'll just time it from scratch once all is said and done.

Oops I meant to edit that first comment not add another one.....

If you wind up needing to replace your heads, I got mine from Cylinder Heads International in Texas. No up front core fees and free shipping back to them. They were the 89TM castings. I had good luck, so I thought I would pass it along. IIRC, I paid like 375 for both including shipping both ways.

I'm not sure if I will have the same luck as you, because I live in Canada I guess if they ship internationally I'll be okay but I'll have them priced out at the auto parts place that I work at, I get a decent deal there! And if you don't mind answering me something.... If the heads are bad and have been leaking coolant into the oiling system... won't extensive bottom end work be required to prevent bearing failure and such?

Nah, just change the oil about 7 times in a day. You will be good.

 

[masterelyt]

7 times in one day? Or are you trolling?

dude im doing the exact same thing to my 89b2. if u can figure out how to remover the distributor please post it. i wanna advance the timing on mine. its all the way in the back..... sigh.... mine is running on 4.5 cylinders so i spent 320 after cores and bought new injectors.

Behind the distributor at the very bottom you'll find a little bolt holding a small clip in place. This holds your distributor and it cannot be removed without undoing this bolt. I have very small hands and it was still a b****. I found it easiest to use a stubby wrench and wobble socket. Can't remember what size bolt, maybe maybe a 12mm or 13mm. Could be wrong though.
