Trying to turn engine over by hand - it stops URGENT
Ok, we got a new valve for the head(exhaust one), and had it put on and all... Now the head is on along with most everything else and we're doing the timing belt - after getting the timing belt on with the marks right we were going to turn the crank over by hand via rachet... Well it gets going then just STOPS - bent lifter? It was in cyl. 2 that the exhuast valve WAS bent... Think thta lifter got bent somehow and held is holding that new valve open so that when #2, and #3 pistons are coming up it stops them????????????? WHAT SHOULD WE DO? I'm assuming we gotta go through the agony of taking all that crap off again eh?

Craig,
Are you absolutely certain that you had the timing mark on the flywheel set correctly before you put on the head?, Can you crank the engine back so the cam timing mark is aligned, and then recheck the flywheel mark. IF is is incorrect you can remove the cam housing, this will pull all the valves closed, reset the flywheel timing mark, lock the flywheel in position and replace the cam tower and try again. Yo really can't bend a lifter, but they can collapse, or stick, which will make noise when you run the engine, but not cause the problem you are referring to. Good luck.

thanks - the head is back off along w/ the cam stuff.... The valve was not stuck open or anything - we've found a scar on the piston wall =(... Updates coming soon.
