help
ok so i have a brand new 400sbc in a truck, got it started once but the carb wasnt right so it died, after this the starter wouldnt crank it anymore, so i went and tested the starter and it was bad so i got a new one, it wont turn it either. i kno for a fact tht the valve timing is right"double and triple checked tht it was dot to dot"
so what could it be, there is oil in the top end so i kno the oil pump is working crank rods and bearings all new and oil clearences were good, can the transmission lock up and engine? ive never heard of it happenin but i guess its possible?
ps. i eaven backed off the valves tht were open and it still wouldnt turn
