Crank won't turn? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok, I put my motor in the 240 a week or two ago. I turned the crank fine to set timing and all that, and now that the motor is in the car the crank won't turn. It tries to fire up yet the crank wont spin. Do I just bust it loose or what? Really need some help.

Thanks.

Could it be that your timing is way off and you have a piston against a valve?

is it in gear?

When it's in gear, the car won't move. Cant push or anything. I put it in gear and get the same thing, however, it was first in nuetral when I tried. How do I reset the timing again if the crank won't turn?

I pulled the spark plugs, it turns now. I had some gas in the cylinders. Idk. I'll see what happens.
