J30a1 misfire

I have a misfire in cylinder 2,5,6 and a random misfire code. All wire seem to be good. Plugs look good. The distributor cap and rotor also look good. The distributor is leaking a very small amount inside. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

It sounds like your distributor o-ring needs to be replaced I recently did mine it was super easy and I bought the o-ring from O'Reily auto parts. Usaually you'll want to change the distributor cap and rotor too just so you dont have to go through having to take your distributor off again. total repair cost was like 60 bucks a new distributor cost like 120ish new without having to rebuild your distributor.

I ended up finding out what the problem was the same day I started this thread. The exhaust valves were to tight. So I went through and set the lash on every valve and it ran perfect after.

@Dakota ___ What was your mileage when you adjusted the exhaust valves? I am curious because I am pushing 190k and hasn't been done to my knowledge....
