Right-o major problem.
I was just about to bolt the gearbox back to L67 to then start install tomorrow morning.
But something is stopping the engine from turning a full cycle, its doing about ¾ of one full rotation.
On sat evening I noticed the alternator power-lead nut had come off, after looking for some time I thought maybe it has dropper onto the ground and left it at that.
At this time the valve covers and charger where off.
I’m thinking the nut has fallen into the air inlet and now is on top of a piston.
Now who has a trick for getting that out?? I have thought about slinging the engine upside down and trying to get it to come out as it went in. Dose anyone know if this might work or if ill be wasting my time and should just pull the engine down to get in there.
I can’t be 100% sure this is the problem but the engine was spinning freely before I moved it into the shed to get ready for the swap over.. Any other thought on what may have happened here ??
(looks like that cam might be going in sooner then I thought)
