So I have adjusted the valve clearances on my en500. I followed the manual and a step by step, rotated motor to tdc (denoted as position c), adjusted side one and then rotated the motor to position f and adjusted side two as stated in the manual and the walk through.
Before this the motor would fully rotate in either direction
After adjusting side two I wanted to just double check the clearances on side one and attempted to rotate the motor to c again and the motor would no longer fully rotate. It was able to see position c in the viewing window but the cam lobes were not facing up and the gear market indicators would not line up. The motor would then only rotate one half turn counter clockwise and one full turn clockwise and would lock. It would lock as if it could not be rotated further (as if I bolt had been threaded all the way in)
The motor has a zero balance crankshaft.
Any ideas?
