I'm 200% sure, since there are two belts... Since the first time I installed the timing belt, I used a short bolt directly to the crank to rotate the engine two full turns to ensure cam and flywheel stills on their timing marks. Then, when I installed the balance shafts belt I did the same: two full turns, and the timing marks on cam, flywheel, and balance shafts sprockets still on theirs marks. The cam and pistons are not interfering. Every timing in the engine is right.
It's when I put on the original crankshaft bolt with its washer cap, and proceed to torque it to its specification, when the engine stuck won't rotating... Like the crankshaft bolt it's pulling the crank in front of the block sticking it on something.
Since I rebuilt my engine on 1998, I have repair 4 more naturally aspirated engines from different years (one '85.5, two 86, and one '87) without any problems or comebacks (my home town is a little municipality and that cars are not very common in this area). That's why I'm very confused.
I'm not an expert in this 944 naturally aspirated engine because of this... If I fix this thing with your help, I'll become an expert.
