Ok you need to pull the valve cover off or you may be able to pull out the distributor and shine a light and make sure the chain is still on. Your chain may have come off or cam sprocket/gear .There is a roll pin in the dist gear. maybe it failed . Also did yaw replace the timing guides and tensioner too?

yes he replaced everything, pulled head and had it machined. Have thought about distributor gear coming loose

i was in a honda civic that broke something in the distributor drive area, the tow bill was over $900, even with aaa long distance coverage :0
i therefore want to always carry a spare distributor for my 22re...
please keep us posted on what the problem was.

Talked to the guy that worked on it and he said would check it out, probably pull the valve cover and see what's up. He's just hard to get to show up and I want my truck back !
