I am posting this for a friend. He is having the weirdest problem with his 97 civic manual. He is trying to set his timing to TDC, but he says he cant turn the crank no matter what... counterclockwise or clockwise. The car is in neutral, the spark plugs are out, and he's removed all the other drive belts cept the alternator and timing belt. Everything checks out from what he's told me and I cant think of why it would do this... anyone?
