There we go.

Thanks Dave!

 

Thats normal.

as long as the marks all lined up together, you are ready to start putting her back together! Good job!

Do you feel like you learned a little something this week?

 

you wont get the same resistance all they way round just one side and the top between the 2 cams will be tight

 

ok cool well thanks so much. looks like ill be putting everything on and hopefully starting it up. im gonna check back here before i put the coolant in just to make sure the change in resistance when rotating the crankshaft isnt something to worry about. ill let you know how it goes.

 

god your fast ace

 

Dave said it first, but yes its normal. You're feeling the compression in the engine. It would be bad if you didn't feel the resistance.

 

thanks guys, you're the best!

 

ok so its all done, and running like a champion so far. just wanted to say thanks to everyone who gave there input, and everyone who posted anything related to the subject earlier. you guys saved me tons of money that i dont have. i cant start to express the appreciation for what audiforums has done for me. i look forward to asking more questions, and helping anyone as much as i can. THANKS!!

 

Your very welcome.

I used the forum too to answer questions when I did mine. It certainly is comforting to have this resource at your disposal.

So, it feels good to be able to "return the favor" and help someone else out.
