Successfully installed my fully rebuilt 2.7 ish block in the car..........took rotor arm off to get some oil pumped round without the risk of it firing up,spun it over for 45-60 secs,checked everything i could think of and lo and behold the bloody thing would not start,but then they don't without a bloody rotor arm on do they?........took 15 mins of cursing and head scratching to remember it............what a git i felt!
