I pulled out my motor to replace the front oil seal (flywheel seal), and after getting stuff back together I decided I was going to do my valves while I had the motor out etc... When I went to turn my motor to TDC #1, at the flywheel it wouldn't budge! NOTHING, it is stuck. It moves less than 1 cm each way (with a regular ratchet). I was able to get it to move a little bit with the breaker bar, but it requires WAY too much force! Any ideas what I did? I had the motor up on it's face (front side down) for a short while, while I replaced the strainer. Could this have caused something to come loose inside? Thanks. Dave Also just remembered where does the O-Ring gasket supposed to seat? I think I placed it after the shims, maybe this is it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
