hopefully you guys can help me out...
96 mustang gt, 5 speed,
i had to replace one of my lifters, after i installed it, i went to crank the car, with out the plugs connected, and valve cover out, just to see if it would stay in place. It crank, 1 turn and made a knocking sound and stopped. then i tried to crank it by hand, it will turn easily to both sides, but wont make a full 360. it feels like it hits a wall. like something is blocking it. And i dont see why the engine would be out of timing. i only loosen up the bolts that goes on top of the cam a little to have enough room to replace 1 lifter.
Thanks
