Hey John, 

Did you also install the push rods and rocker shafts, or did it not turn at all with just the heads on?

Cheers, 

Jeff

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
