I take it you kept them in order when you dismantled it? Numbered them etc?

You can put them in the wrong way, I did it on the first A series I rebuilt, IIRC it made the engine tigt to turn over but not imposible so it could be this.

If you've got new bearing shells, make sure you've been given the right ones (regardless what they've been stamped with)! On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

bearing cap the wrong way round -or- wrong size bearing/journal. Alex On my engine the the "tangs" are both on the same side. unless you have had them reworked you should be able to see evidence of where the tangs used to be. At least check that all the pistons have the tangs in the same place. Plastigage will tell you if the bearings/journals are the wrong size. Terry website:- http://www.terryhunt.co.uk

the problem is tmf, the engine gods hate tmf, and are punishing you for your betrayal "Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

Surely someone on TMF should have suggested the use of an angle grinder by now ???
