Hey there, I've been reading for a while but first time poster.
here is my problem.
I just finished rebuilding a 350.
I had a machinist bore/hone/align hone the block and set up all the bearing clearances.
when finished assembling the motor, i set the valve lash and it turned over fine.
When i dropped the motor in the truck and tried to start it, it turned over a few times sluggishly, and it sounded pretty harsh.
now it won't crank at all.
the starter engages it just doesn't spin.
i took the plugs out and it still wont spin.
i took the starter off and the starter spins by itself.
now i cant even get the motor to turn by hand
any help or ideas anyone can offer would be appreciated.
Thanks
