99 expy 5.4 head change
Alright, so I still am having major issues here so hopefully someone can at least point me in the right direction.
After the second issue with the rear passenger side plug I decided to replace the head, the cracked exhaust manifold and leaking head head gasket on the passenger side.
After getting everything reassembled which seemed to be OK I started turning the crank by hand and sure enough it stopped dead.
Turned crank the opposite way it went about 320 degrees before stopping again.
I assumed I either timed it wrong or had jumped so apart it came.
It appears that my timing is dead on but figured I will re time again.
Problem is I cant get the crank to roll over more than 320 degrees in either direction. I cant get the drivers side back to its timing location.
Assuming it was hitting a valve I went ahead and turned the passenger cam some so as to close the valve it was hitting. I have rotated that cam 360 degrees and still can not move the crank beyond its 320 degrees.
Has anyone ever had a re manned head come in contact with a piston?
I have a hard time believing it is the drivers side since nothing was ever touched over there.
I removed all the plugs on the re manned head but still cant turn the crank.
Anyone have any ideas?
This thing is getting really frustrating. I don't have much in it and my wife loves driving it.
