Auto or manual tranny?
If it's manual does pushing the clutch pedal make any difference?
Also when was the last time it would turn over by hand?
After the pan was put back on?
Does pulling the starter make any difference?
Does removing the serp belt make a difference?

Hey RT, do they still do these like te old 289's, meaning you have to line up the torque convertor drain plug with the hole in the flex plate? Otherwise you have this prob?

Re: engine wont crank by hand	Sign In

to the best of my knowledge not on this model . however it is easy for a converter to slip out a bit.
