I appreciate the help for sure.

I thought about that as well. But also wondered if the problem would somehow follow me into the next engine.

Also, when I put in a new distributor, it ended up being the other type they made for the engine (there is Hitachi and Mitsubishi.) Could that cause a no start issue? I read they were interchangeable.

Finally back after a few months. I replaced the timing chain, tensioner, oil pump, and water pump. Checked oil pump/middle piece/distributor timing before putting it back together and crank/#1 cylinder tdc timing before turning the key after buttoning everything back up. Still not starting, doing the same exact thing.

Pretty frustrated and really have no idea what to do now.
