Ok well I know it definately won't turn with the timing cover off and the cambelt & alternator pulley on so I'll have to get at the thrust washer to have a look. What's a good way to get the cambelt pulley off? Also should there be a washer between the cambelt pulley and the alternator pulley?

The cambelt pulley on the crank should just pull off once the alternator pulley is removed. As I recall there shouldn't be a washer between the two pulleys.

Ok well I've been doing a bit of digging and it looks like I may have put the cambelt pulley on back to front as it sounds/looks like there should be a flange on the front to stop the belt slipping off and I think this maybe at the back against the thrust washer at the moment..

Well I managed to get it off with a screwdriver. Scratched my paint job a bit on the block Anyhow I put it on the right way round and it hand cranked much easier now. Hardly any resistance. So I tried putting the alternator pulley back on and started to do the bolt up. It seems I can't do the bolt up really tight without it making hand cranking virtually impossible. So I took it back off and didn't tighten as much and then tried starting it...

I love the laugh too...


I remember my first engine swap, a 1.8CVH back in ~1999 on my brotehr inlaws sierra. After doing all the work to replace the poorly engine with and expensive £400! replacement. It would not start. After lots of faffing, charging the battery, cleaning the plugs, putting a 12V feed to the coil and 24hrs.. We almost gave up hope. Then she fired and ran like a dream... I ran up and down the street shouting, cheering and waving the Victory sign at all the neighbours that had given encouragment during the work..


Well done, I think you have probably learnd a vast amount that quit a number of builders probably manage to avoid.
