Thread: help with my 86 chevy C 10

Tweet

can u crank it over all the way smoothly without binding, by hand using a ratchet? my grandfather had/ has a '67 GMC K25 ( 4spd manual ) that my dad and him put a 350 in, and it ran, but started extremely hard due to the incorrect bell housing and it had a lot of resistance, took 2 battery's to get it to turn over fast enough to start, otherwise it would go over once or twice and bind. my thinking is the flex plate could be bent or loose, causing hard starting and binding.

That reminds me of the time this kid took his dads truck to the track ,while his dad was out of town.He made it down the track and blew the engine.Parts and oil all over the track.

well it was backed into the driveway at an angle..........hummmm maybe tow truck ???? had to park my car in the street...

no when you turn the motor over,and its gotten worse it drags at one spot.flex plate sounds a little better than a main bearing but i have a auto trans.. any more ideas or guess`s are more than welcome !!!!!!!!!!thanks
