Hello,
I purchased a 1380 engine and transmission from the UK and had it shipped to the US. Its in the car, and I filled with break in oil and ran above idle to break-in the engine in. I was double checking the tappets clearance and noticed when in gear I couldn't turn the front tires to advance the cylinders when in gear. The tires could be moved but no change in the tappets. I started the car put it in gear the the tires slowly moved but I could easily stop them. The speedometer moves when in gear. Thought maybe it wasn't all the way in gear as I had added a quick shift from minispares. Installed the original shifter and have the same issue. Any ideas on what it could be?
