Default just started motor after rebuild have a question??

i just started up the motor for the first time after the build and i noticed that my wheels do not spin while in neutral like i normally see? i put the car in first gear and let the clutch out and the wheels do spin then.. can any one tell me why the wheels wouldnt spin while in neutral??

like when that car is on jackstands and yo put the car in neutral i thought the wheels are supposed to spin even in neutral... i have always seen that but now my car isnt doing that.. only spins when i put the car in gear and let the clutch out then the wheels spin.. is that bad if the wheels dont spin in neutral?

hmm it should spin. My friend car was doing that kind of. On the ground he would put it in neutral and you couldnt even push the car. It was something up with the brake pads.

im not sure if its "bad". i know my wheels have always spun. i cant imagine it being anything wrong withen the sytem, otherwise they would not spin when its in gear with the clutch out. good luck!

if the car has been parked for a while the brakes are probably dragging. Either way I don't think it's an indication of anything that matters.
