Up until the last part, where I had to insert the tip of the spline shaft into the pilot bearing, the installation of my new ACT Prolite Flywheel, and clutch system was pretty much complete. right then I spun the drive shaft and checked if everything was still working, and it was. The task was much more difficult than expected. I got help from my grandfather who is a retired mechcanic. He inserted the bolts on the bottom and left them pretty loose. Then we tilted the engine which looked like it had fallen into a groove and stuck, beeing though it didn't move back. We bolted it in and tried to crank.
Didn't turn, checking....tried again and still no turn over. We decided to pull the gas pump fuse, throw it in 4th gear, to see if it was the transmission, they didn't turn.

What could it be?

Help!

 

Is the starter pinion clicking into the flywheel teeth?
Can you move the E-shaft by hand?
It the tranny neutral switch plugged in?

 

the e shaft is not moving at all. The starter seems as though it's doing it's thing, but the connection there is locked up tighter than Ft. Knox.

 

Sounds like you're binding on the flywheel/transmission somewhere. I'd sugguest, remove the transmission, inspect the motor's turning capabilities with the trans removed (it'll rule that out atleast..)?

 

Right on it, get back to ya on that.

Good idea though, thanx.

 

I've heard, never turn your engine the wrong way.

 

What's the theory behind that one?

 

I know you stated you turned the driveshaft and everything was fine. After installation did you try turning via the rear wheels. Is trans in neutral? Make certain in neutral-Can the shaft spin when in neutral?I know it's stupid, but emergency brake not on?
