flywheel stuck - td_dan - 24-05-2012

right iv changed the waterpump and cambelt in the car, locked of straight forward no problems, once fitted i turned over by hand 3 times with no problems, fitted the starter went to start nothing, thought ok chuck on another starter, nothing seemed like the fly wouldnt go (if you know what i mean)

jacked it back up, removed starter, put in fifth and started turning the drivers wheel turns a lil but then stops as if something is stopping it

iv removed the inspection plate underneath and cant see anything so now im a bit stumped.

Any ideas???

thanks dan.

Sure you removed all the bits from locking it off?


Re: flywheel stuck - td_dan - 24-05-2012

Yep double, triple checked


Re: flywheel stuck - Chris - 24-05-2012

timing right?


Re: flywheel stuck - daddyfixit - 24-05-2012

PANIC !!! dont ever turn an engine over an odd number of times---only 2,4,.......

reason is if you do an odd count then cam will be half a turn out, which does lead to people then removing belts/pins/devices to shift everything again which will result in tears when you try to start it ??

allways even number of times to check/recheck the belt and timing marks.

I always turn mine over 4x at the crank which if I'm correct, is 1 full rotation of the belt, then refit pins to make sure everything is still lined up.


Re: flywheel stuck - td_dan - 25-05-2012

right iv come the the conclusion i may be hitting the valves Sad how can i retime the cam if it wont allow me to turn the crank?


Re: flywheel stuck - darrenjlobb - 25-05-2012

You said it turned over THREE times though fine?

If the motor turned over three times 10 seconds before, you cant be hitting valves....


Re: flywheel stuck - td_dan - 25-05-2012

So what do you suggest then? Im jus trying to solve it lol

Reading that back it sounds patronising but its not lol


Re: flywheel stuck - londondan86 - 25-05-2012

Its nothing silly like being left in gear, otherwise it does sound timing related. Have you rechecked the pins yet?


Re: flywheel stuck - td_dan - 25-05-2012

The pins arent lining up now, the cam and pump dnt line up wen the fly is locked, there 180 degrees out, problem is with the without a pin in the fly i stil cant turn it enough to lock off the cam, can i manual set the cam up?


Re: flywheel stuck - Connor - 25-05-2012

Take the belt off and then lock everything off again


Re: flywheel stuck - td_dan - 25-05-2012

How would i lock the cam off with no belt? Use the 17mm nut?


Re: flywheel stuck - Connor - 25-05-2012

Yeah just rotate the cam shaft and pump and put the bolts in
