here is my full set up short block built by tsp tsp giant cam 248/254 .612/.624 112lsa patriot stage 3 ls6 heads fast 92/92 tsp double roller timinig set tsp ported oil pump stock harmonic balancer 7.400 chromonly hardened rods stock rockers plz help if anyone has had this problem let me know i cant even get the balancer all the way in its sits maybe an 1/8 of an inch from being all the way back and u cant turn the motor at all i even tried turning from the flywheel once u back off the balancer just a hair u can turn it
I had a similar problem when I was assembling my motor... I made the stupid mistake of putting a bolt out of place in the oil pump. The longer bolt that I had put in was too long and would hit the crank, not allowing it to turn when I gave it a test-spin. Maybe...?

first and foremost im an IDIOT... ok now thats out of the way
when i installed the oil pump i put it on first and slide the guide gear on after... which means i put it on backwards bc it is supposed to fit the other way now it is on properly and nothing besides my pride is hurt... i knew it would be a learning experience building my motor i just didnt know i would learn that im retarded no offense to real retards
