Here one for the engine builders, specs are:
2074cc
5.5 Heams
fk 8 w 1:4's
044 heads , turned over with about 2 fingers ,so no pinched bearings,,
I had this on my test stand with oil in it and 'turned over repeatedly w/starter"
then decided to sell the deep sump off it :roll: now it won't turn over CLOCKWISE ,,only backward counterclockwise :oops: WTF? I'm tearing it down :x Maybe a chipmunk got an acorn stuck in there???

Is there a distributor in it?

Fri Jun 25, 2021 8:29 am

Ha ,1st thing I checked :wink: , pulled dizzy,, then the drive gear,, same , pulled the cover off the pump too,, then slid the pump out a bit ,,SAME DAMN THING :? tanking a break,,,,,,,

Is it fully stuck or does it move slightly and then hit something?

Pickup tube thing got twisted around when you yanked out that sump? :-k

Did you leave the ratchet on the crank pulley? :lol: just kidding

Did you take the rockers and pushrods out?

I am assuming the flywheel is on and torqued to spec with correct endplay.

I would think something in the gear housing thats acting like a ratshit letting it rotate one way but not the other. have you fliped the engine around? was there a nut or somethen on a sump stud that came loose like the puckup sttd nut and it's posiably doing that to the crank agnist the case? have you asked your chip monk?

Funny thing is it turns over backasswards ,then turn the right way and it only goes a 1/4-1/2" and stops
pulled the rockers & heads right after fuckin with the dizzy :roll:
siding with Mark on this Chip Or Dale ? :lol:

Come on Mike,Chipmunks store there nuts in the fall, here in MI, looks like a Mike stud!

Sat Jun 26, 2021 8:36 am

yup that will do it. one of the chip&dale studs took up residence there trying to get geared up for a hot summer stripping off threads.

That definitely sucks

Sat Jun 26, 2021 8:53 am

Well there's your problem, right there! :D

Curious where that stud came from and how it got there.

Oh, and I dropped a FP stud into the obis a few years ago. It was the last fastener I needed to install to complete the build.
Got to do the build all over as the stud was lodged behind the cam gear. :shock:

Sooooo much better to find that now, opposed to at speed during break in. 8)

probably won't matter I run sand seals :wink:
Yea I probably had a stud finger started and removed the turbo drain :oops: :roll: ,can I use a stock 3 bolt 'flat'cam gear on my engel??
I chipped a cpl. teeth on this one :cry:

Sat Jun 26, 2021 9:20 am
