I have been finishing my 65 Alpine IV with a 1592 and it has been running great until last weekend. It al of a sudden started to rattle very rough. it then died and will not start. I have pushed it in and out of the garage so I do not think it is the Transmission which I just had rebuilt and put in. New clutch, TB, Preasure plate and flywheel.
So I took off valve cover and everything looked good. I went ahead and pulled the head and everything looks good but still can not turn over by hand. I noticed the head bolts where very tight even though last time I pulled the head I used a torque wrench but they seemed much tighter then when I put them in. I also pulled the started to make sure it was not engaged. It sound like to me it could be the camshaft but I am not for sure. Does anyone have any other thoughts?
I have also been thinking about doing a V6 conversion if I need to pull the engine and rebuild current one.
Thanks
