Hello, I installed the motor, as soon as I tighten up the bell housing bolts, the engine wont turn over. I made sure the torque converter was seated correctly.

Question, if the crankshaft torque thrust bearing wasnt adjusted properly (i.e. supposed to pry the crankshaft towards the front of the engine, then torque the thrust bearing main cap down) is it possible that small amount of distance the crank is sitting back, is pushing the flywheel too tight on the torque converter ????

It seems like this is the only possibility, the engine turns over with the bell housing bolts loose, but as soon as I tighten them down, presto, no turn over.. Any help is appreciated.
