As above,so below.My jap spec 300 auto has had the head put back on,went to do the valve spacing but now the engine wont turn over with a spanner on the crank more than a quarter turn.The transmission is in Park but it has the battery off so cant move to Neutral but this shouldnt be an issue,should it?The engine turned over freely enough with the head off,as I remember, it was a while ago but didnt notice anything untoward.The injectors are OUT so there shouldnt be a compression issue.
First,I shall take off the rocker shaft to see if it will turn over without the valves in play.If it does,I would have thought it was a stuck valve.If so,head off and rebuild.If it comes to that I shall build the LR one that I just had skimmed rather than this copy part that I dont have full faith in.
IF it isnt a stuck valve,what else could it be?Surely there are no immobiliser issues with the battery off and car in Park,....are there?
Anybody got any ideas? The vehicle is stuck in someone elses drive 25 miles away so I have to make time to get over there, try to do some work,then come home to get online.
I dont think that my head is on the right way round today............:doh:
