So, you are turning over the motor without the timing belt hooked up??? =
That is suicide man! The 2.0L 16v is an interference engine so you HAVE =
to have the timing belt hooked up to turn it over to TDC unless the cams =
are not installed. There are ways of turning thre crank around without =
hitting valves but it isn't easy. I can't think of anything else that =
would be interferring enough to cause the "popping" feeling that you are =
feeling at TDC than if you are smashing a valve. I hope it isn't that, =
for you sake, but unless something weird is going on with the wrist =
pins/bushings or rod bearings or something along those lines, I can't =
think of anything else that would cause this.

Subject: HELP! Prob w/ rebuilt engine
So I was in Ohio helping Josh and Brian with the 2.0l install. When =
putting on the crank pulley we noticed something odd. We held a =
screwdriver in the #1 spark plug hole so we'd know when it was about TDC =
so we would get the pulley on the right way. Here's the problem:
When turning the engine over by hand, the crankshaft sorta "pops" into =
TDC. This is without the camshaft connected to it via the timing belt, =
but it feels just like the way the camshaft pops to rest between lobes =
as you turn it. =20
This happened when assembling the head and junk onto the new block. =
There was no flywheel on it, and no timing belt. It's a 2.0l 16v, so =
it's not distributor related either. =20
Any ideas? The engine is in and they would like to start it soon, but =
very nervous about this.
