So, the head is off the motor, gonna put the new one on, and got a little excited and didnt set tdc before the head was taken off. now i cant manuall turn the crank with the head off...is the timing chain just jamming it or is there some sort of lock on the block that prevents you from turning the crank when the head is off? its and s13 sr20
