Don:
What if the camshaft timing was incorrect causing valve to piston
interference?

Engine turns beautifully by hand on the bench. Put the new AMC hesds on with
all parts assembled, torque them down,  and the beenengine won't turn.

Removed the heads twice, still no joy. Sounds like a valve stuck in a guide
to me.

Any body else ever had this problem or got an educated opinion?

Thanks.

John
