"when your turning the motor over by hand it is in neutral right?"
You can tell I am a newbie. It was in second. Don't laugh too hard..I tore the whole engine down..HOWEVER, I found a nick in piston number 5 that wasn't there b4 meaning that metal clank noise was the valve hitting a piston. I am on the phone with summit now telling me they sent me a bad head. All the clearances were checked, I pre-oiled the valve train per instructions exactly, etc..If I did the clearance thing wrong then all the valves would have hit..
