Hi Ray,
The bolts of the crank pulley aren't rubbing against the timing cover
are they? Trying to think where else there could be a problem. How far
apart did you have this engine? Cheers, Charlie.

Happy Holidays y'all. We miss the snow on Christmas day but damn it's a beautiful day here. Was assembling the top end last night (again, don't ask). When it was together and ready for valve lash adjusting I used the generator pulley nut to turn the motor over. As soon as it was tight, the motor refused to turn anymore. Loosen it up and it turns by hand from the flywheel. Tighten it up and no-go. Dreamt about this last night, dammit. Any ideas? This is why I was reluctant to put together without any regard to crank endplay, although I don't know that it is the culprit. Ray Gainesville, Fl |
