I guess this is normal?
Sorry guys to start a new thread for just a quick answer but this is really bugging me
Just went to crank the engine by hand (plugs removed of course) as it's been forced to sit for ages & I just filled auto trans (4.5L & it's full , I realise torque converter takes a bit but still?). Anyway, when I crank it clockwise, no noise, easily spins. When I crank it anti-clockwise, a knocking noise from piston I think hitting cylinder walls? Spins just as easy though..... Is this due to engine operating in a clockwise direction? Sorry but I have never had engine running to check myself since it replaced the ruined one so long ago so, could someone put me in the know pls

what you're hearing is probably the timing chain tensioner knocking. don't do that again. you can slip the chain a tooth or 2. always with a timing chain or belt, rotate in the running direction. good luck, chuck.

doh.....thanks, I think well I've just created more pita work for myself. I'll have to check the timing position now before I start it up & run it as I didn't just turn it a few times. As I said, I wasn't aware of the right direction as I've never had the engine running
