[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 15227373, member: 141815"] You need to make damn sure you didn't crack the primary sprockets at the keyway. The Cloyes sprockets are billet so I doubt you'd crack one of them easily. The poping noising is what has me concerned. Also the primary chain oil tensioner does have a spring loded ratcheting mechanism that will NOT allow you to gain any length of chain. If you don't hold the tensioner arm back with a wedge the spring loaded mechanism will actual move outwards taking up more slack in the chain and not allow you to install the primary sprocket easily. You now need to rotate this engine over by hand to make positively sure no valves hit a piston and lock the engine up. If you crank it over by the starter you may bend a valve if the primary chain has moved on the crank sprocket. DO NOT TRY TO START THIS ENGINE UNTIL YOU PHYSICALLY ROTATE IT BY HAND AT LEAST 360 DEGREES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
