Any chance it's hydrolocked? Have you had the plugs out?

The procedure calls for using a screwdriver to align the oil pump drive and I did not do that. It's possible that it's the starter, but it will be a REAL BEAR to remove that starter with the engine in the car without having the car on a lift. I'm doing this on jackstands. I'll be sure to report back when I do more testing. I won't know anything until sometime on Saturday. On 7/14/10 10:04 PM, "derf" <[email protected]> wrote: > Pull the starter all the way out.
