Hi all,
Building up my MPI engine. New cam bearings and a brand new MED camshaft.
Is it normal for it to be stiff to turn by hand with the sprocket on ? I've oiled it all up. The original cam spins freely enough. Will it free up as it runs in ? Or could it seize ?
Any ideas what I should do ?

Hi,
Except F1 engines which are impossible to turn over until heated to the correct starting temperature.

The last DFV I did turned over. Must have done something wrong.

The cam should turn freely by hand.
