i feel liek a complete idiot but im gonna ask for some assistaNCE HERE. the other day i was working on my car to replace a busted hose. the distributor is in the way on my 94 accord. well i was putting everything back put the distibutor on and it felt like it was in the cam shaft properly so i tightened it down and SNAP! one of the teeth on the distributor snapped. well i removed the valve cover to attempt to find it and no luck. im wondering where the hell it went. well anyway my question is how big of worries do i got now with that piece inside my engine somewhere?

 

wat do u mean by the teeth of the distributor? u mean one of the distributor's mounting points?

 

there are two teeth on the back of the distributor that lock into the back of the camshaft

 

I dont think it fell inside the engine...It prolly snapped and then when you went to remove the distributor it fell out.....replace the dizzy and you should be back on track.

 

well i sure do hope so. but i couldnt find it anywhere

 

actually it snapped when i tightened it down
