1996 Toyota Rav4 AWD 4door Manual Trans.
Motor had bad knock and was ran out of oil.
I had the motor rebuilt at a shop. Been installing it after work and am just about done. Went to put in the distributor and noticed it wasn't quite at TDC (compression stroke) . So I go to give the engine a little turn clockwise and it will not budge. So I thought I would just check and make sure it wasn't in gear. The shiftier is stiff and hard to move but I got it in neutral. I then go to turn the engine once more. Still won't budge. Any one have a clue what I am doing wrong or what may have gone wrong somewhere?
I have a book from the dealer ship which is a great detailed book and have been following the engine installation to the T just can't figure where I went wrong or if it is from me or the shop.
