the engine would turn (by hand) prior to the install. initially it turned fine when trying to start it. never did light off. made a wierd noise or 2, now, it won't turn at all. full charge on bat. starter just clicks. plugs out, in gear, pass side tire chocked, i can not turn the engine with the dr side tire at all. like it's hitting something. i have 0 answers or ideas. just about at the end and ready to take a huge loss on everything. debating whether to pull the engine, and just roll the car out and tarp it. words can not express....

I don't like the look of the flywheel to crank bolts. Looks like something is rubbing there, and that must not happen. There should be a tiny amount of endplay on the flywheel. I forget the specs, but it is very important, as is the number of shims required. I also use a new O-ring, felt washer, pilot bearing, lock washer, and flywheel bolts when I put a flywheel on an engine. A loose flywheel cost me large one time. I was told to Loctite those new bolts in place by the head mechanic at Stoddard Imported Cars.
I also use a new plastic cup in the throw-out arm, and new bushes on the T-O bearing. I know, lots of little details, but it works for me. Most of those parts are cheap, and tend to be worn out. |
