1994 XJ, 2.5 L distributor setting
Hi, I'm new and writing from Holland. I need help setting the distributor after replacing the camshaft and lifters. I searched forums but got no further than references to the FSM. My problem is that I can't seem to picture the instructions in my mind. The 1994 FSM for the 2.5 liter engine says to locate the oil pump gear so the slot is slightly past the three o'clock position.
I can't understand how to set the distributor to the 5 o'clock position and be able to mesh it to the 3 o'clock position on the oil pump gear so it finally sits at the 6 o'clock position when all is set.
Do I line up the brass part (yellow arow) of the rotor at the 5 o'clock position? Or do I line up the plastic part of the rotor (red arrow) to the 5 o'clock position?
And if I do line up the rotor to the 5 o'clock position, then the tip (blue arrow) doesn't line up to the 3 o'clock position of the oil pump gear.
Am I getting this right? How am I not understanding this? What am I missing here? Please help.
