yea its all the right parts..thanks for incite but where i pulled everything back off with the head being off again..and it still not spinning past 180 both ways is what im stumped about? whats locking it up-i didnt drop nothing in the motor that i know of? i didnt mess with the timing nor pull the other head off even. it should turn and turn at the crank now. i dont get it...with head off and spark plugs even pulled on the other head it shouldnt lock up? is there something the truck did to lock it up itself by ecm or theft....with these newer engines 2019+ who knows what chevy is doing to throw us off?!? does anyone know about this? i mean you will turn it around 180ish degrees at the crank and it just dead hammers stops! then you turn it back the other way and it dead hammers stops! i looked at torque converter bolts all are good! i took starter off and its not the culprit either...do i have to pull the oil pan or what? im lossed

Have a trailboss 5.3 lifter issue..it was misfiring on cylinder 3. Changed plugs, coil pack, and fuel injector..still misfiring and had that lifter tick..so I pulled that head and changed all lifters on that side. Installed all back and noticed i can only get the crank to turn by hand 180 clockwise and 180 counter clockwise? Why won't it spin numerous times like it should? I pulled the head back off and tried to spin it with head off and spark plugs out and still just stops both ways with hand cranking? I'm stumped. Never was timing or cover ever pulled off. Just head. Pls help
