not sure but i'd suggest using a wooden dowel instead of a screw driver! =
last thing you want are burrs on the pistons to cause pre detonation...

  Subject: HELP! Prob w/ rebuilt engine


  So I was in Ohio helping Josh and Brian with the 2.0l install.  When =
putting on the crank pulley we noticed something odd.  We held a =
screwdriver in the #1 spark plug hole so we'd know when it was about TDC =
so we would get the pulley on the right way.  Here's the problem:

  When turning the engine over by hand, the crankshaft sorta "pops" into =
TDC.  This is without the camshaft connected to it via the timing belt, =
but it feels just like the way the camshaft pops to rest between lobes =
as you turn it. =20

  This happened when assembling the head and junk onto the new block.  =
There was no flywheel on it, and no timing belt.  It's a 2.0l 16v, so =
it's not distributor related either. =20

  Any ideas?  The engine is in and they would like to start it soon, but =
very nervous about this.
