 Hi everybody.  I am taking the exhaust cam tower off my engine, following Greg's sage advice in the mag.  I turned the drive shaft 90 degrees counterclockwise from TDC per instructions.  Greg then notes that with the belt off, the camshafts should spin and if there is any resistance, you may not have the pistons all the way down and the valves might be hitting.

 

How easy should they be to spin?  Neither of my camshafts will turn either direction.  I've tried adjusting the driveshaft a bit each way but still unable to move the camshafts by hand.  They were spinning thru use of the starter motor before I took the belt off.

 

Any helps greatly appreciated, as I dig myself deeper into a hole . . .
