so, i have just rebuilt my motor (had most of the work done at a shop its a full build) and my buddy just did a basically oem rebuild on his sr20det. now we have assembled everything seperatly and both are having the exact same problem. the block and head assembly (with no trans attached) will not be phsyically turned over by hand. we have both put a breaker bar/torque wrench on the crank to try to turn it over and we get a soft spot of about 3 degrees from top dead center in either direction. the motors are timed correctly. we both assembled by the fsm. neither vehicle has been started sicne the rebuild and does not have oil in them. did we somehow manage to fuck our motors up or should you not be able to turn it over by hand.
