MGBGT
I have an mgbgt that when I turn the engine with a breaker bar will get stuck like the second cylinder is hitting the head and it I turn the engine backwards the piston will stop at the bottom of the cylinder I have the front crossmember out already to take the oil pan off. is their anyone who can tell me what I might be getting into. the engine has a brand ne rebuild done 2 years ago
it ran a couple of months ago but it has sat for a while
can I do that without pulling the head or taking the crankshaft out
heres the problem I found when I took the pan off both of the connecting rod cap bolts broke and the the piston fell down in the engine and bent the connecting rod and marred the crankshaft and the camshaft
the guy that did it is dead now. it was done 6 years ago. he just did the head full rebuild so everything in the block is completely original. so the bearings were probably frozen
yeah but since the shop I got it done at did nothing with the block all of the bearings are completely original and the connecting rod as beaten the crankshaft and the cam and yesterday I got the engine out and one of the pushrod lifters is stuck and broke so I got to get that but I am going to completely rebuild the block and replace all the bearings
