hi. I'm after help I have fitted my engine to my 1969 mk2 after fitting new gaskets seals ect.  it seems to be catching somewhere in the clutch area. I have removed the clutch diaphram and it turns over (by hand) fine but when I refit it catches again. its all original and I haven't changed anything. ive stripped it twice today but cant see whats going on. thanks in advance.
