So I have the head back, cylinders cleaned, and the crankshaft exposed. Problem is, when I manually crank the shaft, it goes smoothly both ways but seems to hit something and stop before I can get to TDC. The timing chain doesn't seem to be an issue and the serpentine belt isn't fully installed because I had to remove the power steering pump to remove the head, but still doesn't seem to be the cause of the issue. Could something be bent in the crankshaft or pushrods or blocking it? I hope I don't have to drop the oil pan and check, I used my last dollar on the head repair Also my car has the ebrake on and is in park, does it need to be in neutral(its an automatic)? If so how do I get it there with the head off and battery out?
