Roger Chatfield 13 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Ok, I've just replaced all my big end bearing shells, I've used oe items from VW, also used plenty of oil but I can't turn the engine over, I've got the plugs out and an using a 2ft breaker bar but can get it to move.If I undo all the caps it turns over but once torqued up it's solid. What have I done wrong?? Rog. Link to post Share on other sites
UnitedMotorsport 55 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 loosen them all off and torque one cap up, can you turn the engine then? Sounds like at least one cap is on round the wrong way or the crank it out of shape. Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Chatfield 13 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 You are absolutely right mate, I had the end caps the wrong way round, foolishly thought the shell locating taps should be 180 from each other. All sorted now. Rog. Link to post Share on other sites
