Hi,
Rebuilt 1500 cc engine. I adjusted the valves then I'm trying to put back the timing belt. Since it have a shaved housing, I put a 1300 cc belt and tensioner bearing. But this is not the problem. Problem is I can't rotate the engine so the cam mark and the crank mark (5 BTDC, this is carbed engine) align. When they are close, the engine won't rotate anymore, even when applying a lot of force, In fact, instead of turning, the cam or the crank nuts are turning, applying more and more torque without the engine turning. I stopped before doing something foolish. I wonder if there is interference between the valves and the pistons. This is a 1500cc but there were many modifications.
Any suggestions?
