1980 Toyota Corolla 3tc 1.8 liter Engine locked. Any ideas as to why it is locked?


Recommended Posts

Hello I have a 1980 3tc Engine that is locked (Toyota Corolla 1.8)
When I first purchased this engine the timing moved perfectly.
I haven't even used it or turned it on at all.
I put on the side draft Weber carburetors, transmission, headers, starter, and alternator.
When I tried to put it on timing it was locked! (2 years later.. now)

Things Ive tried:
Take off transmission
Take off headers
Take off spark plugs
Lubricated pistons
Lubricated Valves

I haven't taken off the intake and carb off.
Any ideas as to why it is locked?

Note: The engine has been rebuilt, but like I said earlier, the timing was moving and I know this is engine was good.

 

Thanks in advance.
