New Shortblock, heads rebuild. Engine not turning over?
« on: November 06, 2017, 05:37:27 pm »
Hey guys,
So I had my 2011 spin a bearing, I bought a new short block from Subaru, removed the engine myself sent it to a shop to have heads done and put together on new short block.
Put the engine back in, all new timing belt tensioner and idlers. the motor was spinning freely by hand. after we finished installing the engine filled it up with oil and coolant, turned it over again by hand and now its not turning over at all it doesn't feel like metal on metal.
Any thoughts? almost sounds like oil or coolant is squeezing through somewhere and put some pressure trying to town over the engine
Thanks in advance
