Stew It might sound silly, but next time you do a test assembly, Dykem the ends of the pistons and give the cylinders a hand turn or two and then disassemble the engine again. Look a the ends of the pistons and make sure none of the ends are striking the valve plates. If the Dykem has been scratched off, it's hitting the plate. Twice I've encountered this as being a problem with elbow engines. It only takes a slight contact to stop the piston dead in place. Glad the flywheel trick worked for you. Surprising how quickly it solves that problem. Steve |
