hello i was wondering if some of you engine builder guru's have some ideas what can be wrong with my 1.7liter W code motor i tryed calling brad roberts and jake raby but both didnt answer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
so heres the dealio.. the case is together. cam is lined up correctly and the crank bearing pins are lined up (far as i can tell i did it 5 times!) everything was going fine and i was starting to torque the case half bolts and checking the rotating assembly. now there is a point in the rotation where it binds (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) flip it back around about 650-700 degrees and it hits the same spot. sitting there with a flash light i couldnt see any of the conrods or counterwights hitting the case or cam. so i undid all the bolts and nuts to see if it was just the case being tweeked but its not. now there is quite a bit of endplay since i dont have a flywheel on the assembly but i really dont think that will cause this problem with the rotating mass. so any suggestions? im going back out too the shop to play with it tommarow thanks...

I had to do something... One day 3 weeks ago the phone rang 77 times.
It's pretty obvious that I need a PR person, boy do I feel sorry for that bastard! |
