help with w10 motor
Hey guys. So, I was excited today to see my w10 motor go into my car. Well, at the last minute, a friend of mine asked if I ever tried to turn the motor by hand. And what you know, I never did try and it didn't turn. We then got it to turn, but its not doing a complete turn more like 3/4. So, there goes my day and had to put the motor back on the stand. I took off the lower and upper oil pans to get access to see the bottom end. I don't see anything wrong and the pistions are moving like they should. I even lubricated things that would seize up. Then I searched and found some things and saw things like the chain getting stuck somewhere, a stuck valve since the motor has been sitting for a long time for god knows how long, the tension might be bad.
Ive also read things like to spray wd-40 on the cylinder walls from the bottom end and also on top of the pistons. Can a small amount of rust on the cylinder walls really make it really really hard to crank the motor 1 full turn? Since I work 2 jobs and have only 1 complete day to work on my motor, I checked out the tensioner and there's nothing wrong. So, since its the end day, and I have to go back to work at my 2nd job tomorrow afternoon, I won't be able to pull off the front cover to see whats really going on until next monday. I decided to post this to get different opinions and help and someone to point me in the right direction. Thanks
