Hi everyone,

Original problem was this:
Which has now become this:Just changed the timing belt, cylinder head swop, new valves. Seemed all ok but very cold in my garage.
Did the test turning the crankshaft 2 turns by hand after fitting new belt. but wouldn't turn after about 200° (I didn't force it). Turning it back - it only went about 180° back. So now it moves freely between about 20° to 200°. but not more
Rockers not yet tightened down onto top of valves so valves can't be going into pistons (much ;-) )
I double checked everything when assembling, but somehow I must have done something wrong.
This kind of thing doesn't make one feel good :-(
Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated...
Thanks,According to my manual, if the camshaft cog is round, the crankshaft arrow should be lined up to where the red mark is in photo, if oval then it should lined up with the arrow on locking tool.
I measured my camshaft cog very carefully and it is definitely round. I had lined up to the red mark and got the problem above. Now I tried it as shown in photo, and the crankshaft with timing belt on (so also camshaft) rotate the 2 test turns without problems.
Anybody got anything to add? Would help to get some backing / opinions before everything is together and I try starting it and mankle the engine up completely ....
Pretty please...?
Pete
