Got a bit of a strange 1 here. Basically i got my hands on a brand new CG clutch set up. I know a lot of people are against CG but it popped up at a decent price so i thought i would give it a go. Any way the other day i went about fitting it, I had a few other bits to do so i dropped the engine out. As the clutch set up was currently XUD style i swapped over the fly wheel and had a hdi gearbox to fit. Got the fly wheel on then bolted up the clutch and put gearbox on. I didn't think anything of it till i checked the nut was tight on the fuel pump and the cambelt didn't move at all as you would expect it to. So i tried turning the bottom pulley and it wouldn't go forwards. Went to turn it backwards and with a bit of force it did but only about quater of a turn. I thought that was strange so i tried the friction plate the other way round, a different gearbox and just the pressure plate bolted up and there was no difference. So i decided that the pressure plate must be the issue so for now it has a stand hdi clutch fitted and it turns over fine.
Just wondering if anyone else has come across an issue like this. I am going to ring CG on Monday to see what they say.
A few pics of the pressure plate and a few marks where it looks like it could be fouling inside part of the gearbox
