Okay so today I put in all the new rod bearings and such I turned the crank a few times to make sure that they are good then I start putting it back together. I put the cams in timing chain and the timing cover. I go to put the crank pulley on and i turn it to tighten the pulley down and it will turn over a few times then it gets stuck and it wont move at all. I tried to stand on a wrench and turn it and it wont but it will turn over if you try to losen it. but as far as turning the motor over to look to see how it works it wont it stops after a certian point. is it suppose to do that?

 

u have horrible luck with the tc, u should seriously jus get rid of it.

 

dude. i know i am not getting rid of it because of the fact its paid off and i dont need another payment. do you know why its doing that?

 

ohhh the car is paid off already?? then ur set on it u jus need it to get it running lol, idk bro i dont think i can help u with that

but ill bump this for u to get ur sh*t running straight again!!

 

thanks man. there is another ? for you do you know the number code that the lifters go in? i think they are in the wrong order and thats why the crank wont turn over.

 

Cam timing is probably off. Probably have a piston hitting valves.

 

Did you measure the bearing clearances and use plasti gauge to make sure you have the correct tolerances? As stated in your other post the buckets come in different sizes and have to be measure to determine what size you need to get the correct tolerances. Please find someone with all of the engine specs that can email them to you. I would hate to see a blown engine cause specifications aren't followed.

 

the timing is on i know for a fact so why would the crank get stuck? and not turn after a certain number of turns

 

o man they happen also so i prayed and prayed and prayed and boom it came loose

 

def. sounds like valve interference. take the timing cover and oil pan off and see what is binding.

 

why the heck are you guys thinking his valves are hitting his pistion your guys must not know anything bout toyota motors 98 percent of toyota motors are non interference motors so valves cant hit pistons.........and are motor falls in the 98 percentile.....


now the problen could be that your bucket tolerences are way tooo tight/high causing the cam to not be able to spin/ turn.......if not try pulling sparkplugs and spinning motor might be super high compression

 

that could be thats what i was thinking..... odd question but do you have the number code they go in? i have a hunch i did not put in back in the right order

 

What are you trying to say? I do not understand this reply of yours

 

no i dont know the order off top of my head but u need to have em in order lol

 

Id suggest heading over to the Forced Induction forum and ask some guys who have built motors over there. They may be able to help you out more.
