BIG engine problem??

[marc_scirocco at sympatico.ca (Mtl-Marc)]

I am building a 2.1 with a TDI crank into a 9A bubble block.

Crank spins freely without any problem. I have a specially clearanced
balanced shaft to fit this motor.

It looks like you'll have to disassemble/reassemble to find what is causing
the problem.

Good luck, and please let us know of the outcome!

Cheers.

Marc
