as far as the distributor not sliding in....

I'm not sure if its the same with toyotas (never had to dig too much under the hood) but on the engines I've tinkered with the distributor shaft mates with the oil pump shaft. if the distributor isnt going in all the way it could be that its just not lined up right with the oil pump (you'll see a notch on the very bottom of your dizzy shaft) but like I said, never dug that deep in a toyotas.

I dont know what could have caused your rotor to fuse its self to your cap though. Never seen that happen before.

But I wish you the best of luck with your 4 runner, distributor timing has never been one of my favorites.

hope my 2 cents helped.
