Alright guys so I have searched but only have my phone so it's difficult. I will try to include all info I can. I bought this 98 gst that had a six bolt swap. When I got the car it had a bad head gasket as I was told. The car ran but very poorly. Tore it down and had the machine shop go through the head said I had bent valves and a warped head. Got a seven bolt head from a friend and threw that on there today everything went well. Swapped the six bolt cams and rockers over to the new head, it already had valves spring etc. Got the timing all together and can only rotate the engine a quarter turn either way. And it feels like hitting valves. Triple checked timing marks , balance shaft gear is missing but I rotated the oil pump multiple times and retired still no difference. Any ideas fellas? I need to get on the road tomorrow
