This past weekend,was the time I was ready to put fire in the hole of my long term project.
Everything hooked up, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) already to go (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) ,hit the key (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) ,and engine turns about 15 deg,and acts like it's locked up (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) . WTF. This can't be happening right.I checked every thing before hand. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) Engine is locked alright. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) I can manually turn the engine around a small amount,and I can hear a metal to meatla contact,then dead stop. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) Talk about a man about to start crying after all this work and money.My thoughts are of internal motor problems.$$$$$$$$down the drain. I decide to remove the trans yesterday.now I can manully turn the flywheel.Tight as a tick,acts like rust cyl's. I remove the flywheel to try to get better leverage with a pry bar to turn the crank. What do I find you ask. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) A "W" cast into the back of the flywheel sticks out far enough to dig into the webbing of the back of the case. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) Piss poor design on the part of the flywheel mfg.. I sanded the "W" down, w/a 4-1/2" grinder,and sanded some clearance in the case webbing. Guys',don't let this happen to you.Roll that engine over a couple full turns b4 you button it up for good. You'll save yourself a lot of grief and hurt feelings later. Ron Attached image(s)
