#166455 Ok I know I have power, fuel pump turns on brand new 255. Starter works took it out and checked it, plus you can hear it trying to do something. but the car will not turn over? I just put this motor in and can not figure this out. You can hear the starter engage and click but won't turn the motor over. Any help would mean the world.

#166457 how where the teeth on the starter and how where the teeth on the flywheel? was the clutch and flywheel installed properly? if the starter turns and gets caught so to speak like it wont turn the motor can you turn the crank pulley in a way where it moves the motor

put the car in neutral its either a 17mm or 19m turn your wheel tho you may need to take it off and try and turn the motor by hand if you cannot do that your motor is seized....for some reaason.....and if you get it to turn try the starter again you may have reached a deadspot on the flywheel maybe if it kicks out and keeps spinning maybe....
