so i searched like any normal h-t memmber...i came up with 5 results only two where anything that was relating to my problem...
ok i built this motor b18c1 ctr pistions gsr rods....full head rebuild ivbuddy club cams, reatiners, springs,itrlma's, supertec valves....thats only some but my problem is i drove the car for a day and it was leaking from the head gasket and rear main seal replaced both and added arp headstuds to my set up now when i got ever thing back togeather my in take cam wont move so i cant turn it so its tdc with my crank pully...exhaust moves fine...its off alittle but enought to be to far out ...its feels stuck and wont move i checked tdc agian and it was tdc yet the intake cam wont budge...during the process i never started it up or anything...do u think its possible its a bent valve or what could cause this hold up? sorry if this was unclear just ask some questions im on limited time im at school righ tnow lol

 

bump

 

I know this will sound dumb, but did you put the cam caps on pointing the right direction? The arrows should point towards the timing belt and from the timing belt they should go from 2-4 (1/5 are obviously right). Atleast pull the valve cover and double check them.

 

ill def take a look altough im pretty certain they are the right direction, the valve cover is sitting off becuase i couldnt put the belt on with out the cam in sync with tdc...so ill double ceck

 

BTW, generally bent valves wont prevent the cam from turning. Generally when the valve is bent, its in the "down" position thus the cam can move freely...and/or the valve can be pushed down, just not up.

 

i know thats why im like wats going on here...seems crazy to me im gonna work on it for a lil tomorrow see what i can come up with...thanks for ur thought though...maybe its possible wen i try to turn the cam the valves are pusshing agianst the piston and if i pull to hard could break a valve if u follow that...not sure...dont feel like pulling the head for the 3rd time but thats was it looks like its coming to

Generally the off vtec cam lobes arent large enough to cause the valves to hit the pistons. Also, if that was the case, you'd be able to rotate the crank back a bit and then turn the cam.

 

Sounds to me like clear installer error. Plastigauge to verify your clearances, verify reassembly is correct, and consult someone locally with more knowledge of what's been done that can assess the problem hands-on.

 

i highly dout i have wrong clearence read up top...i drove it around for a day and a half..then took it apart to fix the head gasket and rearmain seal which were leaking

and i think my dad will look at it tomorrow so we shall see what this nonsense is

 

BTW, did you put in new rod bearings? Which ones did you use?
