Re: Crankshaft in New Rebuilt Model A Engine Won't Turn
If crank is locked, how did he adjust the valves (if he did)

Re: Crankshaft in New Rebuilt Model A Engine Won't Turn
I 100% agree with Herm, but unless you got the job for free i would not do anything unless you get your money back. Why should you go throw this pain and work after you paid someone to do a job.
Tell him you will go to the AG's office and get an attorney if you are not paid back. Otherwise if you send it to another builder he will get that invoice and will have to pay it. That is his choice. |

Re: Crankshaft in New Rebuilt Model A Engine Won't Turn
The profile of the OP is showing he's been visiting this website daily. I fear he's either quit the hobby in disgust, or he has removed the "rebuilt" engine (which will be soon listed on eBay and described as "fresh") and replaced it with one of these Ford engines from a Model P (Pinto):

….or is it possible that the OP realized where the error was that caused the engine to seize and has now moved on? The other day I noticed the same thing about him checking in here on the site. |

Re: Crankshaft in New Rebuilt Model A Engine Won't Turn
What about the shims? Did he put any crank shims in?

Re: Crankshaft in New Rebuilt Model A Engine Won't Turn
you are responding to a newbie poster who is AWOL, save your breath
I still think it is a fake post, an attempt to make somebody else look bad |

Re: Crankshaft in New Rebuilt Model A Engine Won't Turn
Thank you all for your thoughtful advice on solving the crankshaft that will not turn by using a hand crank. It does turn by using the starter. However, it still will not turn by hand cranking so that I can insert the timing pin into the recess in the timing gear. At present the car is at an auto repair shop and the mechanic said he was unable to turn it by hand cranking. I'll provide more updates as soon as I have something new to give you. Again, thank you all.

Re: Crankshaft in New Rebuilt Model A Engine Won't Turn
What weight oil is in it? Maybe the clearances are not "way too tight".

Re: Crankshaft in New Rebuilt Model A Engine Won't Turn
if the builder says it won't turn then how did he set the valves?
