Ollieh17 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) As above, was fine off the car, timing all checked.starter motor removes and in neutraland still wont turn. Defo turned over before gearbox clutch flywheel etc were fitted. Cant remember if i turned it over after fitting. Update took the plug out and dropped some oil down the bores. Turns over know up until one point, which happens every 1 revolution of the crank pulley Edited March 4, 2015 by Ollieh17 Quote
Ollieh17 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 Got it moving but gets real tight in in one spot Quote
Ollieh17 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 Timings fine.... Strange one. Reckon it seized tbh from being in the car not running. Took plugs out and dropped oil down the bore and it budged then Quote
akyakapotter Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Have you not been turning it over every now and then like I've been doing. Sure you will get it sorted will be something simple and an easy fix. Quote
Ollieh17 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 Tbh..no i havent mate. Didnt really think about it. I hope so, though this time i dont think ill be that lucky. May have to be a fordged engine time haha Quote

akyakapotter Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 How tight dose it get are you sure it's not just the compression stroke bud? Quote
morgey Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Is your clutch cover hitting on the bell housing? Quote
Ollieh17 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 haven't looked tbh, just assumed it would be engine related. Gonna drop the box on the weekend Quote
morgey Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 If it was turning over fine before fitting the box then theres something thats happened afterwards. A few people have had issues with certain clutch kits do you know what brand you have? Quote
morgey Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 That should be fine Tbf.edit dont worry about that. Have you turned it over with no plugs in? Quote
Ollieh17 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 when you go passed the tough bit its easy to turn with no issue Quote
Charlie28 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I had this on the forged engine, turned out the oil pump and pistons where fucked. You replaced the oil pump?Not exactly sure what was causing it though Quote
Ollieh17 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 Yeh brand new oil pump.all internals are the same and ran fine before i took it off the road Quote
Charlie28 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Flywheel rubbing against pressure plate? Only other thing i can think of Quote
Ollieh17 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 Gonna drop the box at the weekend hoping it is something like that Quote
Ollieh17 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 If the engine is somehow fuckedits all or nothing lol. Choices are buy a forged engine or break the thing Quote

Ollieh17 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 Had another go turning it over after a bit of wd40 down the bore. While doing this i had a listen to the gearbox flywheel end and diffently some sort of rubbing noise coming from that area. Which is a relief i guess Quote
Charlie28 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Yeah, if you've got a bent sandwich plate it'll push against the flywheel hence making the engine hard to turn over! Hopefully that'll solve your problem! Quote
Ollieh17 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Found the issue, cusco clutch and spec 6 combination meant the clutch rubbed on the bellhousing. Had to grind some of the clutch and bellhousing back Quote
