Pa-Sheeeewwwwwwww

[Yellow 13]

Just got my engine rebuilt and all botled together.

I was setting the timing. So I adjust the cams, OK...Start turning the crank. Its a little harder then normal, and its making pressure somewhere. I can here air going pa sheeewwwww. Theres no fluids in the motor right now except a little WD40 on top of the pistons.

It sounds like the noise is almost coming from the intake.


Edit: I think the noise is coming from the big oil line behind the alternator, I put my thumb over it and it got muffled...sooo yeah. WTF is causing this?

Another thing: I put new rings on. Could this just be some mad crank case pressure?

No replys...

Moving on.

I pulled a noob. I didnt notice I had left the spark plugs in when I pulled the motor a few months back. when I took them out it went away and rotated more freely. =/

^ nah it only happens to noobs.

[BorHor]

It's normal.... I'll assume you're turning it with the plugs in

This is a fantastic post! I think we need more "stupid n00b things we've all done" posts because it's true - We've all done them! Plus, it helps others when they run into the same issues.

Thanks for posting the "fix" Yellow!

 

[bigunitpitcher22]

I did the intake thing too. I was getting hella frustrated then remembered, HEY! ITS UNPLUGgED! So i plugged it in and was happy

 

[JesseH]

yea, but its always better to find out you did something stupid and take 5 seconds to fix it, than have something big go wrong and take a hit to your wallet

Wow.... I LOL'd @ you Yellow13...... I couldn't help it, I did.


I've done stuff like that too man. Like cranking the car with a 3/4 inch socket wrench on the crank pulley.... or like my friend who put his unidirectional tires on backwards.....

It's good humor!
