Been Around the Block
So, I'm rebuilding my engine again for the 3rd time (first time cam sprocket bolt backed out and wrecked havoc, second time piston rings just broke). Fresh pistons, new rings, new cylinder jugs. All new gaskets on the whole thing, cam and rockers don't have a single mark on them at all.
I've become some-what skilled at tearing this motor apart and putting it back together, but this one is new. After getting it all together, setting the time, tappets, cam chain, tossing in 93 octane gas, and hitting the starter, it kicked straight on and made some horrible squealing noises. Killed the engine, looked around. Turned it over again, same thing, and killed it immediately. Pulled my plugs so it wouldn't kick on, used the starter to turn it over, and sure enough, still a slow squeal as the engine rotated.
Already have the rocker box pulled off and the cam out, I can't see anything I obviously installed wrong, no damages on the cam or rockers, chain was still taught.
What was that noise and what should I be looking for before putting this back together again tomorrow?
