AAZ first start-up.. Noisy?

<< < (2/2)

Keasbey:
Nah.. it was a can of silicon lubricant I used earlier.. Don't worry!

But I rechecked the timing this morning, rechecked all my marks, and while rotating the engine by hand, I noticed that everytime the "high point" of a lobe start to touch a puck, the engine seems to lock a little bit.. is this normal or should I be worried that the valves are hitting the pistons? Once a apply a little more force to it it goes...  But I never did a timing belt on a diesel engine before so I don't really know whats "normal" or not. Cam/crank/pump marks are spot on..

libbydiesel:
Each time a camshaft lobe starts depressing a lifter (and the valve spring under it) the crankshaft becomes harder to turn.  I can't feel from here if that is what you're feeling. 

The video does not sound like valves are being hit by pistons. 

Keasbey:
Thanks! I was worried that something went wrong along the way hehe I'll triple check to make sure.. and leave it be if everything lines up correctly.
