So...
I am reassembling the cylinders, Pistons slide in and everything goes fine.
I put on the Cylinder Head, again, no problem.
On goes the camshaft, timing chain, tensioners, etc. just great.
When I manually turn the crankshaft with my wrench, everything moves easily and without hinderance. Great!
Then I put on the rocker arms/valve cover following the manual. Bolt 1, then 2, then 3, etc, until all the bolts are on, and tightened to spec.
I try turning the crankshaft over again with the wrench, and it does about 3/4 of a full rotation, then stops. This isn't just a spot that "catches", this is like, if I use any force, something bad is going to happen...
What did I do when I put the valve cover back on that would cause this problem... Valve clearances???
Again, the camshaft moves freely, at best I can say that the point at which the crankshaft stops turning is when the left exhaust valve is opening.
It has to be a valve clearance issue, right?
