Reply to "Dune Buggy Build"

Locked up new engine.... or so I thought. After installing the new engine in the dune buggy I found the alternator was bad, pulled that one out replacing it with another chrome one. Went to roll the engine over with a wrench to TDC it wouldn't budge not even with a breaker bar. Tried the starter and it barely moved ....^%(# ! . I then had my wife Connie crank the starter while I watched the engine then saw aluminum filings flying.... Much to my relief it was just the back side of an aluminum degree pulley hitting the ( engine builder installed) Allen head bolts that secure the spin on oil filter. Replace the bolts with regular metric and all is good.
