5000 rebuild...stumped

poorhunter · Apr 24, 2014

I just put the head back on, and the crankshaft wont turn ovee all the way. I can rotate back and forth almost a full stroke, then t comes to a dead stop both ways. Could this be because i used the wrong gasket? I used D3NN6051F, which is the thin one for my '65 model. Maybe someone in the past ground the head or block down? Did I do the timing wrong?
Here's pics of serial numbers.

Duh, took rocker arm off, and it rotates fully. Now any tips on timing it?

You'll need to pull the front cover off and check your timing marks on the gears.

If you only pulled off the head, no way the valve timing can be off. MOst likely you got a pushrod pinched and not centered between the lifter and the pushrod recess.. or you mixed up the push rods and one is longer.. or something to that effect...

Did you in anyway change the cam or timing gears?? or just pull the head?

Because the title is 5000 rebuild I figured he did more than pull the head.

I'm guessing you simply misadjusted the valves.
