| | OH Lordy, think I just found my problem, how bad is it you can let me
know but this AINT GOOD! Looked up front at the timing gears while
cranking, oh s**t! The center gear has moved forward and aint touchin
the top gear OR the low gear, isn't that the crank shaft? Does it go
all the way through to the clutch? Something broke loose and allowed
the whole crankshaft or gear wheel to spin free and nearly out of the
front of the engine. I'm numb...............

you would also hear the faster whine of the starter just
spinning on nothing. Pull on the gear attached to the
cam and check it for excessive movement. Did the valves
move at all when you spun the motor?

were operating correctly. Both sides were good. Fired her up with
valve covers off to verify the noise was not coming from the valves, and
they operated fine, noise was from either engine internal, or perhaps
the flywheel area as some indicated. She stalled out and when I tried
to start her back up, she cranks freely and won't start, I think
something broke loose? Perhaps the flywheel as some indicated? Will
pull the starter next to see if the flywheel is the culprit. I put her
in gear and the rear wheel turns as I crank, does that mean the starter
is indeed engaging but something else is shot? Distributor perhaps?
Help!
