Quick timing question.
If there was any interference with timing would I be able to turn the engine all the way arround by hand. Also, how far off does it have to be to do that, I was kinda thinking that if it was off at all it would have interference. It think I got it right, but I'm just trying to double check. Thanks

RE: Quick timing question.
If you've got it retimed, and it's turning the whole way around w/o any interference, you're fine.
Do you still have the front of the motor exsposed? If so, and youre REALLY unsure about it, just do it again.
Shouldnt take more than 5 minutes a side.

Yea, you'd def. feel reistance as you were turning the crank.
It'd most likely be the valves still being open, or not closed all the way as the piston came up on its stroke.
