Used engine will not crank over?
I purchased a good used 5.0 ford engine from a wrecking yard and changed out some of the gaskets. It turned over all the way when I first had it. I dropped the engine into my truck and began trying to line up the flywheel to connect with the tranny. We where hand cranking the engine with a breaker bar when the engine stoped cranking, it won't go past a certain point. We tried cranking it back counter clockwise but it gets stuck at the same point. Any ideas what this could be? Some one said I probably dropped a bolt when changing out the oil pan but I don't think I did. If you ve came across this problem before I d appreciate the help. I d hate to have to pull the engine out again because it's a pain in the ***.
Pull the plugs if they are in.
Look in each bore with an endoscope. Check you have not got a valve being hit.
Pull the rocker covers off and check the valves again.
Pull the egine out if that finds nothing. Oil pan off.
There should be the cause apparent now.
When changing some of the gaskets, did you also remove or change the timing belt? If so the timing may be incorrect and a piston is hitting a valve.
Did you seat your torque converter if you don't seat it in the front pump of the trans it will do this
- Why will my car half-crank, but not turn over? I have a 2004 ford taurus, with starting problem. Its not a no start no crank, but its also not a crank no start. Its more of a half-crank no start, and the HUD is displaying a low oil pressure reading but car is full of oil. The car does a half crank then just stalls out.

Pulled over for 2 minutes and then it drove fine for 20 miles to my house. Next day started fine and in less than one mile there was loss of power again and then wouldn't move. Shut off engine and now it will not start. Replaced the battery, fuel filter and checked spark plugs.
