just rebuilt the bottom end, and everything spun just fine with the head off. then i attached the block to the trans and wondering if it's stuck in gear?? so thus the engine will not turn over by hand. I reattached the shifter cable to the auto trans and shifter is in N. so what could be causing this **** to be stuck??

2004 lx auto

 

anyone

 

I'm thinking it's this part right here that isn't connected to the metal bracket correctly.

 

so i pulled the head, and now its just the block and trans. something is binding, any thoughts? something to deal with the torque converter?

 

I'd really like to be able to say "It's probably this" but ultimately you're just going to have to go back through the work you've done up 'til now and find out where it went wrong.

 

it was the torque converter bind. long story fixed
