When you reinstalled the flywheel, did you use the same bolts or did you re=
place them? If you replace them, did you use bolts of the same length, if n=
ot they could be too long  and prevent the flywheel to turn and it is jammi=
ng.

Subject: [Healeys] It's not the starter

Hello

A problem to consider.

Went to turn the engine over in the BN3. An early C-Series six-cylinder. Re=
built about five years back, but seen next to no use.

Solenoid clicks, but no movement from the engine. Must be the battery so ch=
arged it, but no change.  Tried a brand new battery, but still no movement.

Out comes the starter and connect it straight to the battery. Whirr away on=
 the floor. Perhaps the original Lucas starter is breaking down under load?

It occurs to me to try and turn the engine over by hand. Gearbox tunnels no=
t fitted so easy to wield a large screwdriver to leaver the flywheel, after=
 removing the spark plugs. It moves about six teeth of the ring gear, but n=
o more. It moves back the same in the other direction, but no further. Soon=
 lose interest in this manoeuvre.

What=92s up? Why won=92t the engine turn over? Thinking cap on and perhaps =
it=92s something at the top of the engine such as valve gear. Perhaps there=
 is a bent valve?

Any opinions out there?

Many thanks
