My 8N is currently in the process of a mostly cosmetic restoration. It was rebuilt a couple of years ago before I bought it and ran great. Well since I've had it torn apart, I'll occasionally crank it with the hand crank a turn or two. Well, when I went to crank it today it turns easily but then stops after maybe a quarter turn. I removed the starter the other day, so I put a large screwdriver in the hole, and back it up. Well, it stops at a different spot when I do this. I pulled the head and everything looks OK. I noticed when I crank it forward it stops with all four pistons near the middle of the cylinders. When I crank it backwards, it stops after just a quarter turn where the front and back pistons are at the top and the middle two are at the bottom. Whats Up?
