Charlie,
Thanks for responding.
No bolts rubbing. I removed the pulley and tried again, no difference.
Removed the rockers thinking maybe something there was binding, same
thing. Pushrods (and lifters) moving normally. Everything inside is
spinning, tightly, but I expected that from new bearings, pistons,
cylinders. But if I tighten that nut on the end of the crank where the
pulley mounts, it all locks up.
Only thing I can think of is a crank free-play issue but there is
absolutely nothing about this in any of the lit (that I can find) and
when I posted the list about this, all the responses I got were the
same, including from experienced Guzzi motor builders - don't worry
about it.
This motor was torn down completely. The rebuild didn;t seem complicated
at all and no spare parts were left. I'll teasr into it this morning and
let you know if I find anything.
Ray

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. Ray Hale wrote:
