turbominicooper Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 k so since my first post ive gone over everthing again and re-sat bearings, torqued etc. this is how ive got the engine turning: [vide]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETNitwjTusI to me seems tight, i read somewhere that an engine should turn with 25nm torque but this is way over 50 -thoughts? really want to get this right so any input b great ta Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) means a bearing is to tight amigo have u measuring toools to measure the bearings and hole itselve ?? check the nr1 again with plasigauge because u should be able to turn the engine by hand if the pully is on it if you cant its to tight and will destroy the bearing and burn the lobe Edited July 25, 2015 by 5e colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
