Either way. After 7 frustrating hours, I towed it to my mechanic. I did mention that the new dist (both) the cam position sensor plugs didn't seem as tight as what I removed. maybe more damage, but we'll see. if that dist was off 1 tooth, I can't see how it could turn the oil pump when it just hits. I actually made it 1 tooth off on purpose one of the 10 times I had it out and it just bumped to a stop not seated. We'll see what happens. I trust him, he's a good guy. The write up is great, I think I just have something else going on
Definitely curious to know what it is. If there's something I missed to make the process work better I'm glad to update it.
