How easy should this be, can you expect to feel much resistance
when turnin it over. Cause I have a 19mm socket on bottom pully and standing on it and engine donest turn :reallymad :(
Help plz
You\'re fighting the compression cycle. Take out the trailing plugs (top ones) and it\'ll turn and go psshhht, pshhhht!!
Max
I have both sets of plugs removed and she seem pretty dam
solid to me :confused: :reallymad
Anything else you can suggest
Cheers for the help
is it out of gear ? (someone has to ask the daft questions :D)
Gearbox is removed:confused:
Carbon lock? Will it turn either way (Don\'t unscrew the bolt!).
If bad things have happened, solid stuff can jam the rotors as they try to spin. This can happen with just lumps of solid carbon, not necessarily spare bits of metal.

It did move a wee bit at the start, then i took the plugs out
it seem to jam solid, if it is carbon build up how do i get round
this prob without strippin her. :(
Found the problem, i took off the exhaust man. and got water in both rotor housing, any ideas how the f**k it got in there

Sorry for the fuzzy pic
If you have water in there then the water seals have probably gone and its rebuilding time.
What is the best way to get this cleaned out:confused: :(

Dont think it is water seal, cause it is water not coolant and the level didnt go down. Any other ideas
Cheers

have you removed the inlet manifold ? if you have the water in the manifold heating has probably drained into the inlets ? (if the the 13BREW has the same setup as earlier cars that is)
mike
Inlet did have a little water but not very much, wat does this mean cause im confused (http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/banghead.gif)
Got her turnin and hearin the psshhht, pshhhht:D .
Washed her out with wd40 and petrol is this goin to be enough or is there more i should do?:confused:
You can spin the motor over until an apex seal is visible in the port, then push on it to make sure it moves freely, but this isn\'t going to fix the corner seals or side seals if they are stuck. Best bet is to tear it down, but if you have to be cheap(like me), once it sounds like you have 6 fairly even pops/pssht\'s put it back in and try it. I would try turning the motor over with some crap plugs in because it is easier to hear/feel the compression when turning by hand.
If you have a few days, try pouring a little redex in the inlet ports, leave to soak then turn it over and do the same so that all three sides of the rotors get soaked. This will help loosen any carbon. Then oil it all very well with a thin oil. Check the apex seals move. This will just help with compression when you go to start it again. As for water, if it is only in the exhaust ports, it might be that your turbo is leaking water into the exhaust ports while the engine is off, as the turbo is water cooled. Does the car sit around unused for long periods?. I cant think of any other way that anything other than coolant could get into the engine. Just make sure you have a good ratio of antifreeze/water, about 50/50 is usually about right. That way if it is coolant, it shouldnt go rusty.
