i have searched the forums and watched videos and i have a haynes manual.

engine is out of car replaceing head gaskets and timing belt

im tring to set tdc and and align timing marks but it is pretty dificult to turn the crank.

am i forgeting something or am i just not putting enough into turning it

but in the videos dosent look like a alot of effort is going into turning the crank.

i now how to work on cars but this is the first time ive worked on my subaru

is this a question? it should be pretty clear if the flywheel is hitting something when you turn the crank.
