Rebuilt a 2g 7 bolt motor which is going in my 93 tsi awd. Im using my rebuilt 1g 7 bolt head. Last night we put the front case on followed by the head. Next we decided to put the timing belt on. At this point, the crank turned great by hand and could easily hear that it had compression. So we started puting the timing components on. Got it all together with the belt and timing marks were perfect. Went to rotate the crank with the belt on and it only turned about a quarter turn and it got hung up on something. Turned it counter clock wise a quarter turn and it got hung up again.
We are using the balance shafts and the engine is still on the engine stand. We took the belt off and the crank spun great. Then we rotated the cam gears. Both of them rotated fine.
Im thinking one of the timing components are getting hung up or causing problems. Hopefully someone can help me out so toss out some ideas.
