Dang Problem 1 or 2
As mentioned in my first thread there was an issue with being able to turn over the engine with the starter. Put new end on the starter cable, doubled up on cables, even put an additional 8D battery in parallel. Nothing made the engine turn over any faster. Had the starter look at and cleaned and they found nothing wrong with it. The shop had nothing to load test it. Tried starting again and the starter was even slower and some tries, even with extra cables and batteries.
Pulled the valve cover off and found the rust, so on with the current rebuild. So here it is all together and I try to start it.
Problem 1: Engine cranks over even slower now then before, and seems to hardly be able to get a full revolution.
Checked Battery 4DLT indicates 1080 AMPS
Cable at starter is warm but not burning hot. Voltage drops to below 9V on my digital meter. When load tested it checks out good. Prior to putting the injection pump on I could turn the engine over by hand hold the front pulley, not easy but I could do it. Don't think the tranny is the issue but did not try to turn the torque converter with the engine removed.
I think it's the starter, what do you all think?
