Hey guys, need some help.
All spring I've been revamping a rail I got last year, and it's almost ready to go, but the valves are way out, and I need to adjust them.
Problem: I can't get the motor to turn to TDC...
It will turn about a half inch, then comes to a hard stop.
(and I don't want to force it)
It's a 1600 dp from a 71 bug.
It will start and run, but not real well. (as I said, the valves are way out)
Any ideas why I can't manually turn it?
Thanks! |

The plugs are in... wasn't aware you needed to take them out.
Won't turn either way. |

Take the plugs out and then try it. It should turn much easier with em out. |

I had an engine that would only roll about an inch. Turned out to be a broken tooth off the EMPI oil pump. I dont think you should assume anything though. Just sayin to say.
Pull your plugs and dont force it. |
