Yea I was told to block a wheel and try spinning the other if it takes a lot of effort the it's something internal. I tried this and yea it takes a good amount of effort. I was also told I used to thick of oil witch was 75w90 so not sure oil would cause that. Would using a L series slave cylinder with a non adjustable shaft cause this?

I have the same issue but when I hit the brakes and the wheels stop spinning the engine bogs down like its under a load. When clutch is pushed in the wheels stop sining. Tryed putting it in gear and no grinding fwd or rev. The guy I bought it off of said its a L series bellhousing with a nap z shorty gear box so not sure what that means but any advise will help.

Sweet thanks for the advise and all your guys help

Ok thank you can't wait to get her on the road I've ran only stock motors never with su and a87 head like this one.

Aw ok it has a new chain and tensioner, set it on #1 now just have to put a light on it I'm guessing 4* advanced

Well I don't know what was in there but I found another gear and it had a larger gear than the one in the motor when I got it. Swapped it out and she fired right up, now I have the one more question the block is a l16 the head is a A87 peanut head I think that's what it's called, and I have the cam gear set on 1. My question, is there a recommendation on where to set the timing or is factory good enough.

So I figured out why I was not getting spark now I found a new prob. My rotor is jumping time found out my oil pump gear (shaft) is to small and not setting in the groove on the worm gear on the crank. Is there a different shaft the has a bigger gear?

I'll have to try that but when I had the lower pulley off and the cover off I seen the key there and I tryed to move the sprocket that drives the oil pump and timing and it was solid

I had the cover off when I did the timing chain

I had the matchbox on just to see if it worked after I took the front cover off and readjusted the timing no spark. Same with the points dizzy have spark at the points just non at the plug. Also I do have spark at the coil. As for the gear that the dizzy runs off the crank I checked that and all looks good. I know I'm missing something. The points dizzy is off a 74+ 620, the guy that had it before me said it ran but a year ago so I don't know why after new plugs cap rotor it's not getting spark to the plugs. I've checked on both dizzy the gap and alignment to witch the spark is hit the cylinder and that's when I found that the timing was off a tooth judging by the slack in the chain.

Have no idea how to take it off private

This may help with my problem.

Yes it's a points set up.

I have a matchbox but it dose not create spark have power to it and timed right just no spark. Oh and I took the valve cover off and rotated to line up tdc. I know there are different ways of setting it and from what I've seen it's at 1 and the mark is to the left of the v grove. Also I rotated it to the right and the Chain then had slack, is this common? If your looking at the front of the motor the right side of the cam gear is loose or what I have seen it's the straight part.

Sorry it's a points dizzy, I have tried two coils the spindle is at 11:28 the first time I did the tdc. I get spark at the points but nothing out the plugs. When I get the points to open the rotor is in the middle of the pugs.
